Description

This system lives in my humble apartment, in a 14x20ish living area.

The system is easy to listen to, and commits only errors of ommission as I see it. Music made well for real-world money.

You may want to increase the spacing of your speakers a bit and "toe them in" to get everything better in focus.

Just a really nice system, after this is where the road of deminshing returns start. You will have to spend 5 times the money to double the performance.

System edited: added Atlantis Reference rack. Much better sound from the Rega on top of the Reference than it gave sitting atop my older microwave cart.

Nice start. I like the REGA and Acoustic Energy combo. The AE's are a little too warm for my liking but the snappy REGA should make up for it.
