Finally updated my virtual system after significant downsizing due to retirement and relocation to a condo. My system is currently set up in a partially finished walk out basement in which the space is currently shared with an office area, seating area with couch and chairs for casual entertaining, and a nook with my Roland electronic drum kit. This system which is composed of mostly Ayre electronics, though I recently added a Pass X350.5 amp, and Verity Parsifal Encores has never sounded better despite being relegated to one corner of the basement. The only downside is intermittent noise from HVAC but when I totally finish the space that noise will be significantly muted.
