Description

I love listen to good quality audio system, but I cannot justify to spend enormous amount of money. There are many other priorities that I still need to take care.

I am pretty happy with this system. When I built this system, I did not know that each of the pieces are actually in the editor choice list of the Absolute Sound Magazine.

I love the clean look. I also use the Poang chair, but, in dark brown plus a matching foot rest. Looks cool in an audiophile room.

Great system which allows for the other things of life. Smart...and cool system for one.

The only thing I'd suggest is an area rug between you and the speakers. I think it would help lift the soundstage up onto the front wall and clarify the images. That's all...nice system!

Lot to be said for simplicity. I imagine it sounds lovely. What a wee star the Nait5 is...
Congratulations..

Hey, you have a nice room and fit the system to it nicely.

You're set.

Good listening!

Beautiful system. Simplicity is the key to happiness here. I love that you did not list a slew of interconnects, tweaks, etc. Very nice esthetic choices too, like the room. Enjoy! I did just looking at it...

looks like a very beautiful and satisfying setup. just sharing my opinion re: mordante's comment, one mistake I have made is not putting enough into the source. A great source can stay with you for years and grow with the system. the delivery of audio is of course dependent on the strength of the chain, and it is best to start with a strong first link.

I think you spent to much on the CD player and not enough on the amp maybe.

But that is just my opinion. For that money I think a CEC transport with the Naim super nait would be better. This is just my opinion.

But still you have a very beautiful setup.

This is all you need for great sound. Now, focus on the music as we all should.

Must be so nice to have a nice big room where you can spread things out! You must not live in southern california! The simplicity and neatness of your system is fantastic! I am thinking about getting some smaller speakers and the SF Cremona Auditors are on my list to check out.

Stunning, this is what it's about, beauty and simplicity in my opinion. Must sound awesome, as great as it looks. I'm a fan of the Marantz as well.
