| Amplifier: | NAD 7020. No mods, but its been well maintained, kept clean inside, switches and contacts regularly cleaned. It still whups it up retro-style.
|
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | None.
|
| Speakers: | EAW 253s. Yes, these are full range cabinets for professional sound reinforcement. Each one has 2 15" Sub-woofers, 2 8" mid-woofers, and a 2" horn loaded tweeter. Power handling is rated at about 1000W. Badass. But they really don't belong in my living room. Saddly, its all I have right now. :(

|
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:

| Speaker Cables/Interconnects: | 12 gauge speaker wire. Basic. Boring. Probably doesn't sound great. I'm getting better though. :)

|
| System Goals/Comments: | Music music music, baby. Enjoy it. :)
|
| System Strengths: | Very few, right now :P When my old Phase Linear 700 was working, hi-fidelity at 115dB was quite possible. I actually got a warrant out for my arrest once due to some complex legal situations arising from playing those speakers too loud.
|
| System Weaknesses: | I'M USING PRO SOUND CABINETS AS NEARFIELD MONITORS! BAD!! NAUGHTY!
|
| Video/HT System:
Integrated
|
| TV/Projector: | Some old 13" TV. Its so old, you have to switch one knob to 'U' in order to access channels over 12.
|
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Some old Panasonic VCR. It has stereo outs though. :)
|
| Comments on HT System: | Its garbage. But so what, I don't watch TV, and I rarely watch movies.
