PLease after you stop laughing, remember that my tag is retroguy. I'll start with speakers and go backwards. Apogee Duettas standing on subs of my own design, much like the studio grands. I like my subs more. The speakers are being powered in a tri-amp configuration using Pioneer Spec-2 amplifiers, These are being fed by a Pioneer SF-850 crossover that I picked up on Audiogon as amatter of fact. The pre amp is a Pioneer Spec-1. The main source is a Rotel rcd-855 as a transport feeding a Museatex DAC. Other sources include two Nakamichi pieces, a 680zx and a bx-100. I also have a much under rated tuner from Pioneer model TX-9100. I've compared it to the mac MR78 and the pioneer won hands down. All cables are higher end Monster series except for the speaker cables which are Audioquest midnight. I'm very happy over all, but i would like to triamp with Pioneer M-22 class A amps. LOw wattage (22) but tons o current output. Most of the euipment is nearing thirty years of age, but they still sound good. Thanks for not laughing too loud.
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
What is the best system that you have ever put together , from source to speakers including cables ??? After all the swaps and auditions I'm looking for the final "aahhh, that's the ticket" sound to you and what components took you to Audio Nirvana. {This is a survey of actual auditions, not what you read in a magazine} THANKS,
