Just buying more music now

Description

I've decided to repost this under the Done For Now forum as my wife and I are too busy enjoying our new daughter for me to think about upgrades.

I don't really get to listen critically much, and it's more to listen and to introduce my daughter to all the great music I love. So far Haydn string quartets get her smiling.

I can't really imagine where I can take this system without spending alot on a major component. Short of buying a house I can't do anything to the room and I think this is the main compromise anyway.

It's been a long road to stop here but what a fun and educational one it has been. Thanks to all.

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks.

What a great system!

As a fellow ProAc fan I am interested to hear how you feel the Super Avatar works with them. Your equipment stand is one of the coolest I've seen. A nice blend of antique furniture and usefullness. The plants and the lighting work really well too. It must be a great place to escape and unwind.

I'll be posting a new virtual system soon. I'm using a Bel Canto SET40 amp with my Response 2.5s now with everything in a SOlid Steel 6.4 rack. I prefer your theme though, and hopefully will return to my Magro stand but built with nice hardwood this time.

I'm interested to know how your new system compared to your old one with the Copland as the source.

Thanks and great job!
