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.

Stuart,

I love the simplicity. When you made such nice comments on my amp stands I hade to come look at your system. I could see how you are very happy with it. Your craftsmanship is awesome. I could only dream of building things as nice as that. Maybe it is our Northwest weather that gives us more time indoor to hone the skills.
