Small system. The current speakers are fun: nice balance between smooth and detailed; great bass for the size. Sub blends nicely. Seas metal domes are great, not fatiguing at all, but will try some soft domes at 1.5khz for fun in the coming months. Would like a new source but not sure which direction to go.
System edited: Sold the Totems and built a pair of monitors from John Krutke's website. Very satisfied with these speakers - smooth, fun, and fantastic bass for the size. A good upgrade, especially considering the price. Next step will be better quality speaker stands.
System edited: Added a second amp and PC about a month ago. I also began school and just moved into a new apartment, so hopefully the audio gods will smile on my new room when I set things up this weekend.
System Edited: I sold my B&Ws and picked up a pair of Totem Arros. I've been enjoying my first day with the speakers and look forward to playing around with placement and so on. All in all, a worthwhile change for my system.
Thanks for the comments! I appreciate the suggestions and will definitely look into them.
Tubes have indeed been a great start for me. I've had plenty of fun with tube rolling; the amp is by far the best audio purchase I have made as of yet.
And the DH Labs sound intriguing - in fact, these days just about anything "spooky good for the price" peaks my interest!
System edited: Moved out of my apartment in an effort to save some money before law school next year. Pictures are of my current "setup" in mom and dad's house. The sound is not very good. Can't wait to find out where I'm going so I can move there already.
Hello Phil, and thanks for your response. My room is about 14' square, with thick carpets and plenty of books that provide decent acoustic dampening. I use generic 14AWG speaker cables but am planning to try something like Kimber or Cardas after addressing my current objectives of gaining more LF extension and dimensionality.
