Description

This is my primary system which will be in dedicated listening room (approximately (19' x 17') with a vaulted 10' ceiling sloping down to a 5' kneewall on either side. I mostly listen to jazz (Miles, John Scofield, Kenny Garret, Keith Jarrett, etc.) and some R&B (R Kelly, Jill Scott, Mariah, etc.). I only use the sub when listening to R&B or rap. I recently got the Threshold amp and it is making my Maggies sing. My system has been evolving as I add new components to the mix. I am always open to feedback or suggestions on how to improve this system. Thanks for your time, attention and assistance.

System edited: I believe my system is almost finalized. However, it is dead quiet in balanced mode, but there is a slight buzz when run in single ended. Is this a ground loop hum? Any recommendations? Thanks for your time and assistance. Mike
