What combo would you choose and why


Hey Agoners,

I have the following equipment:

Simaudio i3

Schiit Saga+

Icepower 125ASX amp

Audioengine B2 BT receiver

Odyssey Lorelei floorstanders w/kismet upgrades

Revel M20 engineering standard standmounters

Audio Nirvana alnico 8" full rangers running in free air, i.e.no cab and no baffle

Two Martin Logan Abyss subwoofers

All connections are OCC

I listen to Gardot, Krall, Peyroux and various acoustic guitarists

Room is 14x20 with carpets and lovesacs all over the place

Given all that, what would be your best combo of components to use?

I listen to an average 60db volume.

Thanks all

TM

Thank you for answering with a non-answer. And thank you for telling me what I should do, when I asked, with genuine curiosity, what you would do.

Why do you assume I haven't rolled up my sleeves in the "experimentation quotient"? That's why I asked the question: I've tried many different combos and am curious what others would do. It's called having fun, and I highly recommend it.

Cheers!

Thank you for the response Spencer, appreciate it! For sure the Sim and Odyssey combo makes good musical sense in my opinion as well.

Yes, it's all about enjoyment of the sounds and fun along the way for me.

Good point about same manufacturer, been considering going to all Odyssey equipment to complement the Loreleis. From what I've read, Klaus is quite the character too.

Cheers back and Merry Christmas.

Hmm, interesting observation, thank you. Given my budgetary limits, the Sim i3 is the best integrated I can do at this point in time. If you could choose an integrated around the $2k mark used, where would that take you?

Cheers

Thank you for the suggestion Spencer, probably the nudge I needed to reach out to Klaus for a chat!
