Description

After 5 years, this is my current system. I converted the garage to the listening room with all acoustic treatment inside the wall.

The room has a bar with all the nice wines, finest cognac and the most exotic cigarrs. With more than 1000 records and around 5-600 cds, they are doing a great job taking me away from daily works and stress. It's pure heaven for me now!

Any recommendation will be greatly appreciate.

Thanks!

I gotta tell you. Your room, equipment, aesthetics, take the cake. You have surpassed anything room/setup I've seen on Audiogon. Really, by far. You my friend, have taken this experience to another realm. . . the realm of religous experience, which is where music belongs.
The bar of my immagination looks like your room. I hope someday to have drink or 2 or 3 in a place like that.

No kidding, Vince
