Dario -- very nice too with the 60th edition MC75's and your MC601's. Great looking -- explain those stands -- custom made I assume, are they illuminated via a 12v? How'd you build them/have them built & by whom.

Best Sir,

Bob

[QUOTE=audioguru;862084]This is still a work in progress, but so far have been having A LOT of fun designing and selecting the equipment for my new 2 channel Sound Room. As you can see, the heart and soul of the system is all Mac gear...

Awesome setup audioguru!

Couldn't find them on the web except for mention of a guy named Tate. Can you expand on their address/phone number?

Thanks Sir,
