How do you like your 20T V2 speakers?

Michael, I really like these speakers alot. I probably have a long ways to go in electronics before I exceed their performance. Very smooth with great bass.

A slow year after getting into Roon early then everything else happened in the last couple of months.

I've been quite busy....lots of catching up to do here on the forum.

To list a few new items in the house:

McIntosh MX120 Theater processor
McIntosh MC206 6-channel amplifier

Oppo UDP-203 4K player
Sony XBR49X900E 4K Television
(Another) JL Audio E110 Subwoofer
(2) JBL Studio 6IC In-ceiling Speakers
(1) JBL Studio 6IW Speaker In-wall speaker

Various interconnects and cables including approx. 28m of Wireworld Solstice speaker cable

The above items converted my 2 channel bedroom system into a 5.1 Surround system. I am gathering photos to start a thread on this project, which took place over about a 2 month period.

McIntosh MS750 Music server parked on the living room system.

Marantz 150 Tuner somehow found its way into my office system.

That's all I can think of at the moment....

Jim was the Alpha NR cord for your Denali? The Denali is first on my list for 2018.

I pretty much upgraded everything in my stereo in 2017. To keep the list short, just look at my signature line below. If it is there, it is new in 2017. I so enjoy the music right now.

No. That Alpha NR was for the Rossini. I moved the Alpha Digital from the Rossini (previously 808v6) to the clock. I am still using Alpha HC from the wall to the Denali and Transparent Powerlink MM2x from my amps to the Denali.
