Description

A few updated pictures of the new system, its night and I couldn't get good lighting to get a whole system shot, but its around the corner. Overall I am very pleased with this system its a huge downgrade from where I've been and its lower resolution allows me to forget about being an audiophile and enjoy music. While I have no complaints I have little doubt I will be playing with the big boys again in the not so distant future. I am planning on moving with in 2 years and at that time I will search for a better listening environment in my home and build a more SOTA system. At this time I just like the flexibility this system offers, it does everything good and has no real weakness, I feel all the components represent tremendous value, which is why they were chosen.

Hey Tim, so are you using the preamp section of the Stingray as well? Have you heard the Mahi with maybe a Placette volume control? The Mahi setup will be a bit more money but I wonder if it'll sound any better. At the time I purchased my Snappers, I was told that the 250s wouldn't necessarily sound better, just more power so I wonder how the Stingray would sound vs the Mahi.
