I live in a fraternity house, and this sis-teem is very nice. Can get guys to get out of my room. Everyone tells their friends, and they come over and listen with a big stack of CD's. Going to upgrade everything soon. Marantz is going to get a LCaudio Lclock and power supply. Bottlehead foreplay, paraglows, and Straight eights on the way as well. But for now, I am MORE than happy. can't beat it for two grand, unless your building kits. That's why I'm going to build some kits.
