Thnaks Rodman99999 for getting back to me. To answer your questions, I have not determined the quality of the internal components. In terms of capacitors,inductors, etc. I have no knowledge of what makes one better than the other. This of course is something I probably could bone up on but time isn't on my side right now for that kind of project. I am not unhappy with what I have in sound, but researching with what time I have, how I could improve sonics. There are a few things I plan to implement as time and money permits, such as Platform isolation. I have been collecting mapleshade footers and heavy hats as they become available. I need yet to purchase some maple platforms. Tube rings, upgraded fuse, rectifier tubes, independant power to the wall and upgraded recepticals, are tweaks I also plan. So you can see I have a way to go yet. I am limited in what space I can use for my music room
My stereo resides in the family room, which connects to the kitchen. I think that there is some advantage in this being that my listening seat is far from the wall behind it. I feel that this reduces reflections from the back wall getting back to my ears. Furniture and having to place my systtem components on one of the side walls are disadvantages. Although sometimes I thing that having components in the middle of it all would harm center stage sound field, but I am sure that the hight of the components in relation to the speakers/drivers and the distance they are behind the speakers all play a roll. In my case the stereo would have to go infront of the fireplace which doesnt work for my wife or to tell you the truth myself either.
I was thinking that you would have recommendations regarding what may be the best in cross over components, etc. I realize now, that may be asking to much of you without you first knowing speaker types,loads, impedance values, etc.
Thanks again for your investment in time to answer my question(s). I hope I can return the favor someday.
Brad
