Description

I started putting this system together in 1995 and have been adding things very slowly ever since. I've learned through the years that matching all the components and cables are one of the most important things to achieving good sound. I welcome all comments & opinions as Audiogon has been a great expierience for me meeting so many great people and sharing information.

System update; added Denon DVD-2930ci Universal Player.
SACD, DVD-A & Video. Quite good Redbook playback but falling a little short of the Jolida.

Acurus Amp/Preamp sounds quite good. Fast & punchy, as are the Speakers. MIT cabling smoothes it out a bit for a pretty good balance. I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Eastern California near Yosemite.
The plants/Greenery does seem to help the sound, it is a subtle improvement as you guessed, but a good-looking way to improve my situation.

Nice touch with the greenery! I bet it really makes things comfortable for listening and might even help as a lightweight and natural room treatment?

How does your Acurus amp/preamp sound, as it is almost vintage.
Which mountains is your system in?

System edited: Replaced Philips DVD 795SA with a Denon DVD-2910. Better SACD performace, although the Philips was very good for it's modest price.

The Genesis Servo 12 Sub has adjustable High and Low pass filters and adjustable crossover (set at 47hz currently) and adjustable Phase Control so it is pretty flexible.
However, It is always difficult to get a 12' driver to mate perfectly with 5 1/4" drivers, so there is a little bit of a trade off to get that deep bass.

Thoughts on the subs.? How easy to set up and adjust to the room, et cetera?

The plants work very well actually as room tuners and look good too, unlike some other room tuners.

Really dig the indoor plants/room tunes! Awesome!
