Surgarbrie: I recently had the opportunity to work with a "blank slate" in our spare bedroom with our second mini system. It sounded a lot better than than I could have ever imagined and was set up so that I could lie on the bed with my head elevated. Since then the room has seen some use from guests and has undergone further "decorating" that mucked up my speaker placement. It was great while it lasted. The next step will be to get a pair of taller 30" stands and do a near field setup aimed at the computer station chair. This with the addition of a low wattage tube amp in the chain was plan B anyway.
Ultimate Question
I was wondering how you all felt about your systems and how much better is attainable?..... What I am really getting at...have most of you wrung out every last piece of potential out of your system or do you believe that more can be attained? Is there better to be bought but finances will not allow or is it a constant wait/search as new products become available and trying them? I'd be real interested to hear from those who have spent a long time building a system since this seems to me be the ultimate question.....how much can a system actually reproduce?...I know we have differring tastes on how this is done and that ultimately it is everchanging but what are the opinions on the best available..oh and be civil to each other..please..
