This is my second system. It’s more of a test bed to experiment with different types system components. The core of the system is based on the ARC amp and Herron preamp. Both these items were purchased used. I didn’t spend more than $1,900 for both. Originally they would have set me back $8,000!  And they sound WONDERFUL!  Even compared to much more modern components.  The Canton speakers are brand new but are 10 years old. They were originally $4,000, and I bought them new for $1,400. They are very clean and have more bass than they have any right to be. They remind me of my Thiel CS2.4’s in clarity, tone, and timber, but a little bit more warm. The also have a wonderful sound stage. I purchased them on a recommendation to replace my aging Vandersteen 2CE’s, and they a superior in my opinion. So overall I am super happy with it, maybe even more so than my main system;)
