whostole-

I was sold on PL 10 years ago. 
HP/VPI with Nordost.

The  PL gear is at a level one can say...okay, let's just listen to music.
I know this is being nit picky but I just wish the PL gear looked better.  I really like the looks of nearly all others - ARC, VAC, Luxman, Octave, Cary etc...I supposed PL is wedded to their aesthetic.
I know what you mean about the looks, especially the rounded cage. However once you see it and feel it in real life, you kind of get a new perspective and respect for the look and feel. It's incredibly heavy for its size, and the finish is very luxurious to the touch. I've come round to it and find it aesthetically very pleasing overall.
"I know what you mean about the looks, especially the rounded cage."

If anything, PL should have reshaped the transformer cover, to compliment the tube cage. I don’t know what that would look like, but it"s the same cover used since the line it was introduced.

If you ever try the KT 150’s, the cage won’t fit anyway.
Your digital transfer rig is top notch. I bet that’s digital playback that sounds organic like a record.

Your stats are gonna sing. I like the Mapleshade rack. I have slabs under the table and sub. I don’t know if they really do what Mapleshade claims, but it works aesthetically.

Looks like Christmas at your house

Edit-

My room is similar- wood floor windows on the sidewall. My setup sounds "too hot" without room treatment. Strategic damping really tamed the brightness.
