Thanks Ivan for a terrific write-up and congratulations Howard on putting together such a fantastic system. From the pictures I have seen posted here it looks fabulous, and I have no doubt it sounds that way too! Your system is comprised of just about everything that I would want to have if I were to put together my "dream" McIntosh system. As Ivan said, I also hope you and Val continue to enjoy it for many years to come!

Howard.......Having followed the hkval sound system saga for a few years now, and watching it evolve to the audio system dreams are made of, I congratulate you and Val for making the commitment to pull out the stops and take it to this level. I understand, share, and support the desire to bring out the very best in your sound system. I also share many of the same components and accessory details in my systems that you have incorporated. I have a deep appreciation for the planning, the physical and mental effort, assembly, attention to details, and the financial investment required to bring the big picture into sharp focus. You have stepped up and hit a tremendous home run over the center field wall. Way to go my friend. Here's to many pleasurable years of audio nirvana in Naples.

He put me in contact with the guys at ASC, PS Audio, Wireworld, Symposium and others who were invaluable in helping me make good decisions. But, the best help comes the members of this forum. My home has a Welcome Mat at the front door for AA members. (It's just getting past the armed guard at the front gate that can be difficult) Thanks to everyone, Howard |

Howard & Ivan,
It's a real treat to read this knowing how much time and effort has been dedicated to Howard's system. I can tell Ivan got a kick out of finally seeing it.
