Actually, I agree. I saw the 601s in person and thought the flat glass plate with the bigger meters was a bit much, cyclopean as it were. The comparatively understated look of the 501s is far more elegant to me.

But a question. You're running the popular 2300/501 combo, and with Sonus Fabers. Are those SFs considered warm, neutral, or analytical in their basic sound?

Thanks again for all the nice comments. The SF Elipsa/Mcintosh combination are on the "warmer" side of neutral but I would not say they have high's that are rolled off. The Elipsa's to me sound great once set up properly. I was lucky to have Bill come over to set up my speakers. I am very happy with the bass as well as with female vocals, rock, jazz and classical music especially string instruments although trumpets and sax sound good too. For now I love the sound of Mcintosh and Sonus Faber and they are also easy on the eyes. I have not changed anything in this room in a long time but I am itching to upgrade my home theater and may move the Elipsa's and 501's over to that room

Hey, David...just saw your thread...great pictures. I can personally vouch for how beautiful this space is, and, on top of that, it sounds fantastic. The room is conducive to sitting back, relaxing, and being enveloped in the sound. I was also lucky to witness Bill perform his setup magic, and I wouldn't change a thing if I were David, either.

Kudos, David, on a great system which soothes the sonic soul and looks fantastic while doing so.

David, neutral is a nice catchall hifi term. Koyaanisqatsi for sure but how depends on your listening prejudices.

Natural is actually more descriptive of what you have.

Paging Mr. Bill

Any ideas regarding speakers for the home theater
