Description

This was just supposed to be my second system, but it is clearly superior to my HT/Music combo at home. The biggest improvement is the Linn Majik floor standing speakers. I got them in a great deal on Audiogon and replaced my old Meadowlark Kestrel Hot Rods. The difference is mind blowing. I love these speakers. I need to clear a little furniture out of my office and do some minor acoustic treatment (it's all hard surfaces - wood floors, plaster walls, tall ceilings), but this system sounds great with every type of music. I wish I had a place to fit these speakers at home!

My primary source is streaming music. I was using MOG with great results. I'm now splitting between Beats Music (not as good quality as MOG) and Qobuz (even better quality than MOG).

How do you like your Bel Canto 500S? It's my target amp when replacement is needed down the road.
