I'll echo what others have said, great looking system that I'm sure sounds great as well. Also nice to see someone with a smaller listening space like mine

Thanks! I can't get over how deep the piano finish is. My reflection is clear enough to shave off of.

Appreciate your comment. Most immediately I'd like to send the Panamax to the living room theater setup and replace it with a P5. Then I have plans to design and build my own audio rack. I have some ideas on what I want, but it's still evolving. I sketch it out, then no sooner that I think; yeah, this is it, then I change it up again. It'll happen though.

Thanks for the kind words. The system does indeed sound amazing. There is absolutely zero fatigue in these speakers. I listen to them for hours on end and am mesmerized by them.

At first I thought they would just overwhelm the room, but it's well treated and the speakers just disappear in it. The Canton's are true chameleons. While I would dearly love a bigger space, I live happily with what I'm blessed to have. No complaints from this soul.
