| Music Preferences and Comments:
|

|
| System Goals/Comments: | I have three items on the agenda to upgrade this system even though I'm in particular hurry to do so. This system is very satisfying as it is. The first of these consist of changing out the D115 for a pair M100's. I've always wanted a pair and one day I'll own them. The second item is to add a mono turntable and matching phono stage. I'm thinking about a Thorens with a Grado or Denon cartridge and the Grado phono stage. Should be fun. The last thing is to try a pair of rebuilt stacked quad ESL 57's.
|
| System Strengths: | Naturalness.
|
| System Weaknesses: | The room. My next big upgrade will be moving to a different house with a large listening room. The biggest problem to over come is to finish the rehab on my current house.
