Description

Adding this new rack allowed me to make a lot more room for the Pass blocks. Too heavy and too much heat for the wood cabinet.

@spe Thanks spe. I am loving the Odysseys. Before those I had a Rotel RB-1050 for about 10 years. The mono approach is quite a difference. Started getting into vinyl in April and having a lot of fun with it.
That's quite a system you have. The rack is beautiful and those diffusers are awesome. Where did you find those?

@klaatuzero Thank you. It's everything I had hoped. Got the TV credenza at Crate & Barrel just before they went all modern. I'm with you; I prefer clean, functional, user-friendly pieces.

Thanks. I figured since the Focals are so clear bordering on bright that tubes would be the way to go. I'm very happy with the PL. Given that the efficiency of the 948s is so high, I considered tubed mono blocks, but the Odysseys really do very well on the bass.
