What Combinations of Components Have You Put Together That Sound Good?

At the moment listening to All Night Jazz (89.7 FM WUSF Tampa) through a Mitsubishi DA-F10 tuner. DCM Time Windows 1A's and a Sumo Andromeda amp. Preamp is an RGR 4. Three other rooms filled with vintage gear await!

I'm very close with a few systems. At the center are Monsoon neo 8 planars, and Aurum Cantus, ribbon treaters. VMPS RMx Elixirs, Rm40s and RM30s. They are all coupled with MB Columns, and servo bass systems. I like Mac gear combined with Cary Valve units, NO Valves doing BASS here, all SS, class Ds, wonderful stuff with full blown DSP and active OXO.  

About a year to finish what I have going, and the same on the rooms.
pretty steady for the last two..

Never ending, though.

I love my Janszen zA2.1 Valentina hybrid electrostatic speakers and I went through a number of amps, trying to find that elusive synergy. I stopped looking when I found the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 and ZOTL preamp to be a match made in heaven. It’s incredible.

My current system. After many changes and diligent effort I am very close to what I think is ideal. The most recent changes adding an Ikeda tonearm and cartridge made for a huge increase in performance. getting out of the chair after I start listening, other than to change the record is difficult. Although I would not have expected it the Luxman tube amps from 1975 are a great match with the ProAc speakers

Dynaco and SWTP kits were good together but I've moved on.

Tannoy Stirling GR and Music Reference RM10 Mk II...just waiting for the Cary 303/300 laser drive to croak again so I can go Lumin T2 or whatever the time affords.  

Luvin' it, there's never too many, keep 'em rolling...

Synergy is just another word for never having to say you're sorry...

Seriously, synergy happens when components aren't grossly mismatched.  After that (when they match) it all a question of nuance.

Line Magnetic 805ia (48w SET Class A with 300B driver tubes) paired with DeVore O/96's.  Really quite impressive synergy in my system.

mapman and jjss are fully correct. Millercarbon would/could likely respond with just a link to his system page (HA) in which he would also be correct. Ok, I'll answer the question: Doshi Alaap pre, Wavelength (300B Cardinal XS & 45 silver) mono amps, Beauhorn Virtuoso (106db) speakers. We (most of us) like to feel our own combination is the best ever!!

The same ones in the synergy version of this thread. Synergy means things work well together so the same thing.

I suspect most would say the systems they post here sound good together.

good question

but there are many many examples of this out there - too many to list

very happy  can't blast the sound but rich clean sound   have not made any changes to speakers or amp for 9 years

I have a McIntosh preamp coupled with McIntosh 601's, driving a pair of Revel Salon 2's. I like the setup. The sound is a little on the laid back side but that's just my cup of tea. For me I don't think there is a pinnacle I could ever reach. It's more variety. I've heard so many fantastic set-ups. I would love to be able to switch out systems on a regular basis. Like it's Led Zeppelin day? I'll have the  Synthesis speakers paired with Levinson power please. And I can't wait for tube Tuesday! Whats the best? There are so many opinions about how to get the best sound. The opinions are very helpful, but in the end it's your preference. I have a pretty nice BMW now. But my wife and I are going camping this weekend. I wish I had a Jeep.
