My main speakers at that time were Bose 601 series II, which I still own. The original Yamaha CDP died and was dispossed of - it was no great loss.

The Energy speakers are one of the few newer speakers I've heard that I really like. -------------------- Sgt Schultz- "I know nuth-ink" " Life is too short to be taken Cirrus"

I'd have another pair of Veritas in the house any time...maybe I'll find a pair at the Sally -------------------- ________________________________________________

How can people be so cruel? Group: Admin Posts: 4728 Member No.: 3 Joined: June 29, 2006	for those of you who havent seen this system in person, the photo's dont do it justice. to my ear, this system is very smooth and sweet, absolute zero listening fatigue with one of the cleanest, quietest vinyl rigs you are likely to hear. -------------------- Teledyne AR9, Yamaha B-2x, Yamaha M-2, Hafler DH-110, EAD DSP 1000, Wadia WT-3200.

Giving it another try Group: Charter Member Posts: 3382 Member No.: 6 Joined: June 30, 2006	Great looking system Mark. I´m not familiar with any of it, with the exception of the Dual TT, possibly amongst the best Duals ever. I´m sure it sounds great. Oh, that thing you have on the top shelf of the rack can be haazardous to your health. Ship it to me asap. Jorge

I have a friend who's got the same pre-amp from Krell, it's a great - but expensive - pre-amp with an awsome state of the art aluminium remote. Have fun. -------------------- " Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be measured " Albert Einstein

Very nice sound overall, nothing that stood out that would cause for fatigue. Mark's system was also the best vinyl system I've heard, including ridiculously expensive Linn/Wilson setups. I could almost make due with vinyl instead of CDs with such a system. - JP -------------------- After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
