Hi Rtn1,
Thanks so much for having me over this weekend and giving me a chance to hear an incredible musical performance. It was a treat not to be missed. I've never heard a system like this. The sound was uncanny. You have sure accomplished your goal and become a benchmark for what I now know HiFi can do.
Music lovers and hi-tech lovers alike would be amazed at what this system is capable of and how it is constructed.
The first thing I noticed (after the incredible looks of course) was the fantastic soundstage this system has. Because of the diagonal placement of Rtn1's system and speakers he has at least a 35 foot soundstage which places a precise image of every instrument in the orchestra. I listened during the day, (it must be unbelievable at night!) and was simply amazed.
Then on CD after CD, (this Wadia system is Killer!)I heard the most unfatiguing, utterly listenable music that I've ever heard a stereo reproduce.
It is truly an accomplishment to have dynamics, sound staging, smoothness, rich textures, great bass, and a system that is fun to listen to in one complete package. I don't think there is a musical performance available that this system couldn't handle with aplomb.
I've developed a new appreciation for Avalon speakers, the REX, and amps by Pass Labs. Where is that tax refund?
Rtn1 has designed a system thats performance is like I've never heard before.
And as for his knowledge of classical music, performances, instruments, and musicians, Rtn1 is the man.
Congratulations!
A tour de force!
Humbling!
P.S. Wht a great family too!
