Dan thank you. I was hoping to maintain the room's look. I'm looking forward to dialing it in. It's very raw right now, setup, cabling etc.

Very cool office setup - I don’t know if I’d get much done there, I’d be too distracted by the nice sounds.

Thanks I don't either lol. I don't actually work from home, its more for bill paying, photo editing, general computer use etc. Seating position for listening is pushed way back from desk. It's really a 2nd full system, set up that way, with occasional use at the desk.

Nice mike loves the Contour 20s too!

Are you maybe going to add a small sub at some point?

Definitely not, that's why I chose these over the Special 40's, They sound almost like full range. I don't like subs in 2 channel personally. Stuff is breaking in nicely, much smoother.

I would be really interested in comparison of midrange and highs performance of Contour vs. your Sopras. I’m considering Sopras 2/3 or Contour 60 for my main system. I like the dynamics and midrange of the Sopras but in some systems I’ve heard them personally to be bright. Never had a chance to hear Contour.

I'm my system, detailed yes, bright no. Believe it or not with the McIntosh and the Contours, the highs and mids remind me a lot of my sopras running on my NAD separates. I do think the Contour tweeter might run a touch sweeter though, it's hard to tell because of the tube pre section on the amp. The Sopras are a lot bigger sounding and obviously go a lot lower with bass. The Contours aren't dialed in yet but Sopras are definitely more transparent. In the Contour system I haven't even messed with positioning, room treatments or cabling yet so it is very early to compare.
