Second system in a relatively small room. MC4 plugged to a PS Audio UO. Zu Birth and Canare 4S11 cables. Music files in lossless format.
The MC4 is quite a stunner. Picked it up on a whim after hearing it paired with a System Audio SA705 monitors, blew me away. Kept it in storage until now. Synergy with the 301-AV Monitor is superb. The 301-AV Monitor was a limited-edition model manufactured only in 1998 and designed specifically as studio reference monitors.
I'm aware the Bose brand is disdained by many enthusiasts who delight in calling themselves "audiophiles". I'm not going there. When I first heard the 901's back in the mid-70's at a friend's place I liked what I heard. However, I wouldn't give the same praise for their lifestyle products currently in the market.
The other system sits on the opposite side of the room. Tara Labs cables end-to-end.
The sound reproduction in this room is fantastic! Rich, dynamic and tuneful, full bodied and detailed, enormous staging, warmly seductive. Near-field listening at its best. The experience is like hearing it thru headphones in a large open space, just what I had hoped to accomplish. It's spooky.
