Dedicated 2 channel system CD/SACD with a totally separate/isolated Video Surround System.
Years and dozens of components later, this is the best I've ever experienced. Granted the speakers are not of equal $$$with some of the other components, but they blow me away. The room is only 13x17 of pure audio orgasm!
The most difficult challenge was incorporating Audio and Video together. After many various failed attempts, the only solution was to isolate the two systems. Power, speakers and components are completely isolated from each other. The Video Systems evolution was originated by my AV Designer Anthony Benjamin([email protected]). He was instrumental in designing and separating the two entities.
The custom Leon video speaker proved to be the best solution. Cosmetically and functionally this little LCR/surround combination with the Martin Logan Descent proved incredible.
Difficult to install separate fuse box in a rental apt building, added two 20 amp dedicated fuses for audio and video separately. With individual runs of heavy gauge electric wire with hospital grade IEC receptacles.
And of course the EMM combo with the magic Dartzeel is second to none. Just experience this once and irrelevant of you may own, you will want to buy into this miracle.
Thanks mdoukas. It is imortant to take time and not jump. I have learned that very expensive lesson. I am considering either updating the VR4 SR to the new MK2 or trading up to the VR 5SE. I am told that it is a relatively large improvement. look forward to hearing them soon. Good luck with your system.
