Description

System assembled from mostly not currently used or backup components other than the Vault 2 and BDI console.  Cabling is Monster for speakers, Nordost and Linn for IC’s.  All PC’s are stock with no power conditioners.
What a great sounding room!  The floor is suspended and the speakers have their spikes installed.  I can’t believe the bass I get out of those little 5 inch woofers in this large room.  The speakers were gutless in a prior smaller room.
I’m very impressed with this setup.  A great sounding room with less than high dollar components still sounds great.

I made a few system changes, repositioned the speakers closer together and reduced toe-in.  Next up was replacing the stock power cords with a Nordost Brahma on the Manley, and an Audioquest NRG10 on the ST500.  The speaker position alteration improved the soundstage and imaging.  The power cords were the big surprise.  I really didn’t expect the improvement that resulted in a relatively modest system.
