I did not pay retail for any of the items listed, All together right now I have Less than 2k Invested. This is a biamp system. I am still working on a low cost marble & Glass setup for everything to sit on.
I am still working on it but for now it sounds great. I am very pleased with the sound especially when the the viper cables were added, they really made a huge difference in sound range of the speakers. I still wish I had a dual output pre-amp.

NAD 2200
Reproducing musical signals, the NAD 2200 routinely delivers over 500 watts per channel into typical loudspeaker impedances.In actual measurement with speakers of complex impedance and lower-than-average sensitivity, the 2200 produces peak sound pressure levels exceeding 115 dB SPL(Sound Pressure Level) in a medium to large room, with no audible or measurable distortion.But in size, heat dissipation, and cost, the NAD 2200 is similar to many other amplifiers rated at only 100 watts per channel. For audiophiles who can use and appreciate its capability, the 2200 is unquestionably the best-buy power amplifier ever manufactured.
Paradigm Monitor 11 V.3
The Monitor 11s are true audio superstars. If theres a better value in Floorstanding speakers, I havent heard it. Theyre smooth as glass, have awesome high-end performance, and rock deep in bass frequencies. these are amazing speakers I was blown away.
Viper Studio Pro
Superb sounding speaker cables

p.s. I used to own Paradigm Studio 100 V3s and consider them to have been fine speakers. Enjoy the music. I doubt that anyone would laugh at your efforts, but if someone does, your job is to pity them for their ignorance. It's about achieving your own goals and nothing else. Thanks for posting your system, complete with pictures. It's always a privilege for me to get a glimpse into another audiophile's listening realm.
I found that Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers had a surprisingly positive effect on the system I owned over two years ago. Most of the system's components have since been replaced, including all of the cables, but the stabilizers have stayed in place. However, two sets have been upgraded since then to the second generation models. They are definitely worth a shot. Many people (myself included) really find them helpful. Not everyone has the same impression though. The great thing is that they include a money back guarantee, and they even cover SHIPPING. Pretty gutsy, huh?
