System Goals/Comments: With the addition of the Reference Line One Silver Signature amp and the wonderful Luminous Audio Synchestra Reference IC's this system really fell into place. Eventually try the Nixon DAC and try ACI subs. Maybe some day a Berning zh260. Too many different components ... would like to eventually simplify.
