Amplifier:	Antique Sound USA Model 108 Mono Blocks are in storage. I am now running Bogen DO-70's (great el34 amps) in the A/B mode driving four folded Onken style speakers. Heathkit SS1b's and AS51's.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	VanAlstien Tube Pre amp with phono section and remote volume controll.
Speakers:	Pioneer HPM 150's are in storage. Four (count em) Heathkit AS-51's (original stock no mods) and 4 Heathkit SS-1B's ( I am changing the Jensen P15-LS to Electrovoice C15W's) with 2 EV mid horns (like altec 811's) and 2 Altec 811's with Altec drivers). The horns are crossed over with University N3's.

Room Size (LxWxH):	14' x 14' x 7.5''
Room Comments/Treatments:	The room is very broken up in layout. I do not have any wall where I can place 2 stereo speakers in a conventional manor. To combat the irregular shape room I added the additional 2 speakers. None of which is on the same focal plane or for that matter they all face a different direction. It still sounds great!!!!
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	all
System Goals/Comments:	My goals are to finish replacing the Jensen P15LS 's with University C15W's. Also to replace the Jensen 8" with Ev 8" mid drivers.
System Strengths:	The Heathkit speakers are a great match for the Bogeb DO-70's.
System Weaknesses:	Speakers really put out quality sound need my Wife to stop putting nicknacks on the tops. Now that I have horns on top it makes it more difficult to put nick knacks on them.
