It certainly shows you have given a lot of thought as you have incorporated component after component. It is absolutely beautiful & impressive; extremely well organized and displayed. An eye popper comes to mind in describing my initial peak at your pictures.

Congrats Steve -- you have done good!!!

Best Sir,

Bob

The F113s are as subtle & precise as a toe tapping shuffle & as thunderous as a quake. Especially so with the extra control provided by the heavy custom designed Legend Audio SA stands (spiked & decoupled). I have them dialled in at around 10 o'clock. They can even shake the house at these moderate levels too. I'm certain they would break glass if they were dialled right up.

The F113s are balanced to blend in seamlessly at a 40hz crossover point for 2ch stereo via C1000T SPK1 outputs as well as HT (LFE is passed through to the front mains for this to work). Best of both worlds.

Cheers Bob... Your input has assisted my endeavours, especially with the recent tube roll on the C1000T MC phono stage.

Steve,

Beautiful system and setup. Looks like you have things dialed in really well. I also like all the wood you have in your room. It makes your equipment stand out really nice. You guys from down under really know how to put your systems together.
