I really like your setup having options for different speakers! How big is your room?

I have to believe it produced at least 40-50 clean watts per channel. I understand you can't buy one for 5K.

Thanks! I do enjoy the variety for sure. The room measures at about 16' x 18' with 9' ceilings. The back of the room opens up (with an open wall), to another larger room (kitchen/breakfast) and which is also open up to the formal dining/living room. So, a lot of rooms and sound bouncing around, but I LOVE the "live" feel of the system. It's truly been a delight!

It can only appreciate in value.

A little off topic, but the Pres of our audio club has Bozak Concert Grands. He's quite fond of them.

You have to be a subsriber to upload pictures and access other parts of the site that are closed off to you.

It's worth the very reasonable price of admission.

Finally getting around to taking and posting some pics of my relatively new two channel listening area. The space is tough as it's a loft-type area with no rear wall. A couple DIY bass traps and acoustic treatments seem to help. I have a MEN220 and will next run it through its paces to see how much of an improvement I can get.

Overall, I am really enjoying this setup, particularly when playing SACDs on the MCD600.
