Well, I grow up with My dads QUAD ESLs and Ohm Walsh 2s, 4s, 300s, 5s. My first system was Genesis Genre IIs powered by a Marantz Model 19 and a JVC CD player. After 10 years, I'm at my current Multi-channel Magnepan Based system. My goal is to have every part as a bias on the tech side of things iE: Stax = ESL, Magnepan = Magneplanar aka Ribbon, CD player = Stable Plater, AV/Amp = DSP-A1. Everything work very well together. My system would have been better by but I had to buy another car. I'm saving up to get a house so upgrades are on hold but what's next are 4 mono power amps, replacement for the DVD player after that new Pre-pro. Long term new Stax earspeakers and QUAD ESLs...
