My goal was to put together over the years system that will play anything from Rock to Classical without adding "HI-FI" (extra detailed, bright and unnatural)sound to it. I used my own ears to complete this Reference System, not rewievs or popularity of the brand. As a result, I have very balanced, musical system with warm, "singing" quality combined with natural tonality and great soundstage. All this components together realy sound like this.
Good to hear that someone else value music more then anything else. This is why we all started this hobby - to bring performances home. And components may be all different from system to system if only they serve the purpose of sounding like real thing.
My system is very "non-HiFi" sounding too. I like it that way because, to me, it is more like real music and much less fatiguing to listen to for extended periods. My system consists of Muse digital, ARC pre, Ayre power, Legacy Focus 20/20 loudspeakers, Discovery top-end cabling, VPI analog, PS Audio power regeneration and power cables.
