I've heard very good things about the Quattro Wood...hope you enjoy them! Will you post some new pics?

It's one hell of a system you have there...how do you like the Linn overall? I am looking at options for the rest of the family for 'easy' music playback and the ability to bring stored disc images, streamed sources like internet radio, etc...all together in an easy to use setup as the big rig is meant for other things. I'll have to check out the Linn DS/DSM along with the other music servers I was intending to look at (PS Audio, Core Audio Tech Kryptos, Music Vault Dirac and of course Memory Player64). What are your thoughts on the Linn versus other offerings you considered in more detail? Thanks!

Last year I found a pair of speaker cables that opened up my Focus SEs even further than they were performing all the while making me extremely happy and very impressed. Check out my system for details; the Focus SEs in this config are showing me even more of what they are capable of and when you couple that with their reasonable price point, the overall effect is amazing to me. You've got one hell of a system! Did you ever make the moves you mention above?
