Proceed equipment was chosen for the home theater for its high performance and its ability to connect and communicate with other Levinson products. The Levinson 334 was chosen to power the left and right B&W Nautilus 804 speakers for uncomprimising 2 channel audio playback. The NO. 39 CD player/processor was chosen for its superior CD playback ability. SCD-333 ES player is for playback of Super Audio CD's. B&W Nautilus speakers were chosen for their ability to reproduce exactly what is on the source material. I will eventually upgrade the N-804's to the N-802's. M&K MX-5000 sub was chosen for its deep bass reproduction. The Sony XBR was chosen for its superior picture resolution and compact size when compared to a larger rear projector. All equipment was chosen to provide the ultimate system marriage of Home Theater and 2 Channel stereo playback.
