In this room, there are two systems. A 2-Channel stereo system, and a separate Home Theater system for movies. These two systems only share the subwoofers. The 2-Channel system has been my hobby for the last 27 years. It has gone through many reincarnations, and still a work-in-progress, but I can't believe the level of sound quality that it has reached. My frame of reference has always been a Jazz ensemble playing on a stage right in front of me, or a live performance in a closed space. When I raise the volume loud enough and set the lights real dim or close my eyes, I can imagine the performance in my room. It's an amazing feeling. Each component in the system has added something special to that image over time.
Hey Shak awesome looking system and very cool theater room! Love the seating and the atmosphere and lots of great gear. You list the Simaudio P8 in your gear list but I see a pic of a Pass preamp also that you don't mention? Former gear perhaps? Thanks for sharing!
