Description

This system is used for many hours every day. It is centered around the Marantz SR7200 and the Sony Widescreen TV. It is an ever-evolving entity, and I will attempt to post changes as they occur.

My next upgrade will be the DVD player. It will either be another Sony, or it will be a Marantz. I have several models of each in mind . . .

Thanks for taking a look.

System edited: I am presently attempting to acquire a new B&K Amp (the ST1430). When I do, I will post updated pictures to go along with all the changes I've made since the beginning.

System edited: After several discussions with friends over the position of the B & K in my system, I relented. It now powers my Front two Channels, the Martin Logan Mosaics. After I've had a chance to listen to this configuration I will post my impressions in this thread. Everyone, feel free to comment on my meager system ! Neshamah (Steven)
