What is the current retail cost of your reference system?

expensive systems are often over rated, as is the notion of how much money a person has, as if it makes you a better person if you have more of it

tremendous musical enjoyment can be had with fairly modest systems, with experience and skill applied in how they are put together... isn't that where all of us started? 

too often folks use money as a measuring stick... it’s quite shallow and unbecoming

having been a high end residential real estate developer for twenty plus years, having seen hundreds if not thousands of very expensive homes, i can personally attest that people with money to burn and people with good taste are quite often in non-overlapping sets

that said, in the minority of cases where tremendous spending power meets great knowledge, well expended effort, and highly refined taste, the result can be truly exquisite

this reality certainly applies to stereo equipment and systems too

nice system @aberyclark

i somehow surmise you are rather proud of that luxman ss amp!! 😂

seems to me like if the zu’s are your chosen speaker in the room shown, at their very high efficiency they would also be very well matched to some ultra sweetie pie lower powered tube amps (luxman makes some!)

happy listening!
