For the enjoyment of music.  Lot's of changes over the years.  I typically won't buy something unless I can listen to it in my system.   Spending a lot of time recently searching out well recorded and interesting music via hi res downloads.   I have a really nice vinyl collection mostly Jazz and pop.  Digital I'm filling out my classical titles and more modern recordings.  Jan '16

Jfrech,
Just wondering about the Purist Proteus Provectus cables. Are the Praesto Revisions a newer model? Can't
seem to find info on them. If so are they an improvement?
Thanks.

Jfrech,
Just wanted to wish you best of luck with the Maxx 3's.
They look amazing and no doubt sound glorious! I auditioned the Maxx 2's a few months ago and was very impressed. I decided to audition the Maxx 3's in near future. Going from the watt/puppy to the maxx's did you
need to treat the ceiling with absortion/diffusion products
considering the increase in height of the maxx's?
Thanks.

Congratulations on wonderful setup. Are the Maxx 2's
an easier load than the watt puppy 8's? I've owned
watt puppy 7's for about 5 years and looking to move to
the Maxx 2's. Can you comment on the impactfulness of the
bass as compared to the watt puppies?
Thanks.
