System Goals/Comments: Would like to finally settle down on speakers, and amp; I now have too much stuff.
Shahinians are overall good, but the Linns are faster and seem to be more engaging.
System Strengths: lively sound with vinil, particularly bass and midrage clarity
System Weaknesses: room acoustics not good, but the rug helps. Bigest problem trying to choose the speakers. Maybe I should just sell everything and start over...
