I have a bedroom system and a main one. The main one is for serious music listening only, and there is only vinyl as a source. On the bedroom system, I have an Armstrong 626 receiver, a Sony 9000 CD/SACD/DVD player, and my old pair of Fostex single drivers that I replaced with the Lowther Voigt Pipes in my main system, and a TV. I used to use the Sony 9000 in the main system, but I see no need to run my tubes and Lowthers for background listening or watching movies. So this way, I can do the things that suit each system best, and I have entertainment in the 2 most needed areas of the house
Two systems? Why?
I mentioned on another thread that I have two completely different systems, one for HT and one for music. I wonder how many of y'all have taken that approach. Anyone care to comment on your systems and how they differ?
I'll start off.
My HT system: Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2 mains, Reference CC, Reference ADP surrounds, and Servo 15 sub; Parasound 2500u pre/pro; Parasound 2205AT amp; Toshiba SD5700 DVD; Sony CX90ES CD jukebox; Monster cables.
My music system: JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers; Belles 350A amp; Rega Jupiter 2000 CD; various cables. No vinyl and no tubes (gasp).
Persons familiar with this gear will see clearly that I am seeking two quite different goals with these systems.
Others take a moment to share?
