I love this system but have a few additions that I intend to make in the future: Boulder 2010 Preamp(no I'm not joking...this thing is heaven on earth and worth every dime!) and a Burmester 979/980 combo. The choice for the new Burmester 001 over their equally awesome 979/980 combo was that in the short term, I feel the 001 works better with no preamp and I am not quite ready to part with the wad for the 2010 just yet.
This system is all about a smooth and natural timber, massive layered sounstage, great macro dynamics with no lack of detail and micro dynamics. The four biggest performers in the system that I would not replace without some serious consideration no matter how much I have to spend(best first): 1.MBL 111A 2.Tara "The Zero" 3.ASC Traps/Panels(never underestimate room treatment even on an elaborate rig) 4.Burmester 948(Once again, do not underestimate the little things like great AC conditioning!)
