Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?


Long story but I ended up buying a system without auditioning a single component and haven’t set it up, what are your thoughts? Technic SL 1210 GR, nagaoka mp-500, eversolo dmp-a6, pass labs xp 17, pass labs int-250, klipsch forte iv, Cardas clear Cygnus speaker cable, Cardas clear interconnects, Cardas clear Cygnus phono cable.  I know I don’t need the int-250 for the klipsch but got a great deal.

I guess I am going to learn a hard lesson.  Any thoughts on potential different speakers that could be placed close to a wall?

Closing day on house got pushed back, that’s why it is not put together.  I have kids can any room by dedicated? (I think I need 7 years until they have no interest in me). The only items I can probably return are the klipsch, I wanted something with a broader horizontal dispersion and could be placed closer to a wall but still have bass without a woofer.  In the future I want to add DAC and power conditioner and could prob upgrade turntable (technic is mostly for nostalgia and I had it before everything else)

The Cardas where a good middle ground on price I was willing to pay and some of the reviews I read is that they lean a bit warm.  To be honest you can read so much about cables and I walked away from that rabbit hole feeling like Cardas would be right for me.

Haha the long story was a divorce.  No one to justify anything to.  I am not looking for a significant other at this point so figured I would marry my music.

I ordered a decware mystery amp and power conditioner.  I have buchardt's and like the passive radiator hence the forte
