mksun's Nearfield System

What an elegant, intelligent solution to a lack of space. I've had good luck with near-field listening, and I am pretty sure i will have to enjoy it again before I am through with my ears.

Pass Labs and Wilson. I've wondered about that combination. In the photographs, your space looks vast. I'm sure it is all the darkness. It also seems that you let your two-chann...

I think of that as an almost perfect system - minimalist, everything of good or very good quality, very little fuss or muss. Having the Rega turntable (which their prime designer calls a "vibration...

Such an interesting speaker combo! I assume that you only play one at a time - I'm considering having another pair of speakers (a set of omnis), but I taking my large speakers out each time and mov...

I'm curious - do you use DSP to help arrange all those bass notes being generated by so many woofers - sub and otherwise? Does it ever overwhelm the room, or did you luck out with a great room, or ...

After spending a few months with my first pair of horn speakers (after many decades of dynamic and panel speakers), I can see why you enjoy your system so much. It is a very different way to listen...

It looks great. But what do you play? Meaning, what are your sources? Streaming? Vinyl? CD?

Those speakers are so simple and graceful to look at. I read the Art Dudley review of those speakers, and I was intrigued. I love your choice of amps - SET amps are something I am just starting to ...

Ahhh - I didn't realize that the steamer was part of the package. I'm currently in my "Maximus" phase - I have many components, much vinyl just a lot of everything. I look at your system, and take ...

I know I may be missing something - I can do that - but you don't list your speakers. What are they?

Oops - I don't know how I missed that - sorry. I'd love to have a pair of those speakers in my room - though they may be too much in a smaller room like mine.

I live near a hifi store that sells Gallo, and have enjoyed their sound. And Pierre Sprague from Mapleshade was a big fan, especially of their subs. But you have taken this to new heights, literall...

As a recent convert to horn speakers (Volti), I'd love to know more about your system. What amps work best, etc. It all looks good, but more pictures and some insight would be g...

Sometimes, when I try to "control" the tweeter by using DSP in too strong a fashion, the tweeter will "bite" me - hit a note that almost hurts. When I keep my DSP correction to just below 250 hz, t...

I am pleased that you can make the speakers work well for you without DSP. I think they can sound thin without it, but between your use of tone controls, and the subwoofer, you have made it w...

Oops - I see now that I misunderstood - the LS3/5A was what had to come down when the speaker stand were not welcome. Still, you have some nice options for listening!

I love the light in your home. I used to own Linn Kans, which were a LS3/5 variant. I used a Naim 42.5/110 preamp/amp combo, and I thought they were wonderful. I can see why you don't mind when you...

I like that you are using equalization. I do mine in the digital realm, but I don't know that is any better. So many rooms are problematic, and so many records are poorly recorded. I think it is wo...

I've always wanted to spend time with a single driver speaker system. I hear about the coherence, and the immediacy of such a system. I hope you really enjoy yours.

One of the things I miss about work (I've retired), is my office system, centered around a Scott 299A. I liked having alternative systems to the main system - so I still have a few - my darkroom, m...
