edrosin's 10 years in the making System
Last Update: July 17, 2005 at 06:38:56 IP Address: 80.221.176.135
Amplifier: currently Unison Research Smart 845 monoblocs, but shortly to move to Bryston 4B SST
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): Simaudio Moon P-5
Speakers: JMLab Focal Diva Utopia Be
Sources:
CD Player/DAC: CEC TL-0 drive/Audiomat Maestro DAC
Turntable/Phono Stage: Basis Debut Gold Standard/in between phono stages...
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects: All Siltech
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.): Pagode Finite Elemente Reference stands/amp supports
Tweaks: lotsa love and hard work...?!
Room Comments/Treatments: the room is just under the roof, so it has a sloping ceiling with two full-length librairies running on the left and right-side walls. Carpet placed on ground in front of speakers.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Funk, Soul, R&B, Hip-Hop, Jazz & House spring to mind, but IŽd be lying if I did't admit that I am open to all genres of quality music, from deep house to classical...
System Goals/Comments: Make me want to come upstairs to the listening room, no matter how many things there are to do, and succumb to the music.
System Strengths: transparency, drive, openness, warmth, charm, lucidity
System Weaknesses: with current Unison amps: lack of macro/micro-dynamics and control at frequency extremes, starts to get shouty at anything above moderate levels, lack of precision and snap
Video/HT System: Separate
TV/Projector: Fujitsu 42-inch plasma
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: Vincent S-832 (?)
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): JM Lab Cobalt 802S & 802CC, REL Q-200E
Sources (DVD/VCR): Denon (can't remember exact model, but it was bought late in 2004)
Comments on HT System: A really lovely, well-balanced and quality set-up that fits the rather small HT room we have perfectly. Sub does need tweaking to avoid overpowering the room, though!
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: clay-pigeon-shooting, martial arts, art, reading, movies, circuit-driving (I own an E46 M3...), wine and haute cuisine...God, there's so much more to discover!
