Default My new system

I loved what I had, but was ready for a change. I have been short of time, especially in the past year, so as I could, I listened locally and travelled to regional dealers to shop what I couldn't find locally. When the dust had settled my system had changed from McIntosh/BMW to Spectral/Magico. I am thrilled with the sound I have now. It is detailed and dynamic, but musical, so musical!
As before, my system must share the living room with our furniture - no dedicated audio room - but fortunately, its sounds great!

Thank you all. As a complete system redo, it was gut check time when the

time came to pull the trigger on all this. It was a big investment and since I

still liked what I had, suppose it didn't work like I planned? ... just didn't gel

as I thought it would in my space? Anyway, fortunately for me, it was love at

first listen, and its only gotten better as its broken in, though there is still

plenty of tweaking and refining to do. Ted.
