Description

Hi everyone,
Just want to introduce my  budget system.

I am using it in a 2.0 setup for music and even if my room is not optimal I have never enjoyed my music that much.

System: CD/SACD through Denon DCD-1600NE  - Rotel A12 - Tannoy Legacy Eaton
Room: about 12 x18 x 8,  speakers are on custom built stands (22" high)  about 7' apart and 28" from the front wall. Sitting position about 7' from the speakers. 

I know this system can't compete with a lot of system I drool over on this site but it is mine and I love it!

Regards

I love the concrete blocks and I really want to hear a Tannoy floorstander some day.

New Cheviot owner. Where did you get your stands?

Good to see a fellow concrete block rack fan!

Nothing to be ashamed of! You have the Eaton's nicely set up in a room that is the appropriate size, so as a long time Tannoy maven, I believe you are very happy with them!

Enjoy, regards,
Dan

A lot of changes since my last post! The LS50 are the sole survivors!

System edited: Decided to keep the Onkyo Tx-8020 (it sounds great, play loud enough and to be honest there was no logical reason to change) Adding a source made a lot more sense ... so I pick up a Yamaha BD-S681.  I think it's time to take those CD and SACD boxes out!!!

Looking to upgrade my receiver and dac with an all-in-one solution ... leaning towards Yamaha AS801 ... better option in the same ballpark?

Thanks Jason,

I am really happy with my system even if it is modest.  It sounds good and I do think it looks good (not as good as yours).

Regarding the custom AV rack it was an easy project to complete ... 2 (60" × 18") pine boards, 6 cinder blocks and some wood stain.

Hey Physiomat, 

Your system looks great, I especially like the custom AV rack. 

Enjoying your system, and not constantly wanting to upgrade, is essential to enjoying this hobby.

Thank you jeff1225.  The LS50 are great for sure. Even if the Onkyo do a good job driving them, I might upgrade it down the road just to spoil myself.

I think those KEF's are some of the best sounding speakers our there regardless of price. Congrats on a well thought out system.
