Here's my Mac system with the new 800 D3s and the new Gotham subs. Sorry if the pics are a little small, I haven't quite got the picture thing figured out yet.
Great looking system. I have a quick question, are you swapping amps between the same speaker or do you have a couple of sets of speakers? Or bi-amping?

Thanks.

(a) after looking at these systems, I realize I'm poor and (b) when I click on "go advanced" there's no option for me to add a pic from my desktop like the other forums. Am I doing something wrong?

I’m bi amping. The 601s are powering the woofers and the 2301s are powering the mids and tweeters. I have played around with just the 601s or just the 2301s (neither way sounds bad) but bi amping them both is no comparison. I love tube sound with the hi’s and the hi and tight bass from the 601s. The Gotham’s have there own built in amps so I’m just running those straight off the MEN220. Phil Lesh never sounded so good😎

Excellent. It looks like wheels on that rack. Can you actually move it?

Wow, what a system! Congrats, that is impressive indeed (and rocking the 601s at 60 Watts).
