IP Address: 166.199.242.97	Last Update: February 20, 2024 at 18:17:54
Amplifier:	Recapped Threshold S300 for the woofers. A pair of recapped and modified Threshold SA/3s for the mids and tweeters.
Preamplifier (or None if Integrated):	Pass Labs XP-12. This beauty is followed by a Marchand three way 24 Db/oct active crossover (oh no, chips). A Marchand XM47 2nd order passive crossover between the soft dome and the planers. A Legacy Steradian smooths out the low freqs nicely.
Speakers:	Active Tri amped Legacy Whispers and Legacy Xtreme Bass sub.
Sources:
CD Player/DAC:	Marantz Ruby. It is good enough for me.
Turntable/Phono Stage:	Too much effort for me.
Other Accessories/Room/Misc.:
Speaker Cables/Interconnects:	20 gage Duelund for the ICs, and 12 gage Danny Ritchie speaker cable.
Other (Power Conditioner, Racks etc.):	Power Conditioner? Why? If your AC is wired right and the power supplies of your equipment is properly designed, AC cables and conditioners would be moot. Anyone ever heard of a pi network?
Room Size (LxWxH):	20 x 16 x 11
Room Comments/Treatments:	The use of controlled directivity loudspeakers and electronic LF room correction greatly minimizes room effects.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections):	Jazz, some rock. I am ok with chicks singing.
System Goals/Comments:	I am darn nearly there. My model is a jazz club here in Dallas with very little amplification.
System Strengths:	I have attempted to bring musicians that have deceased long ago back to life. Fortunately for me they do not seem to have access to my liquor stash.
System Weaknesses:	It is nowhere near live music. So what, we are out the door now to go and hear some.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector:	82" Samsung Q60 QLED TV. Fiber out to a Schiit MODI for audio D/A conversions.
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers:	100 watt per channel Marantz integrated surround amp driving the center channel and rear / sides only. The mains (Whispers) are driven as indicated above.
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub):	Legacy Cinema HD center channel with Legacy Studio HDs for the surround / sides. Yeah, this rig does both 2 ch music and HT well, very well.
Sources (DVD/VCR):	Sony DVD / Blue Ray player that we never use as there are so many providers to stream from.
Comments on HT System:	It's an all in one music and home theatre rig.

Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation:	Spending time and my hard earned money with my honey, travel, food, good liquor, over priced wine, live music, Netflix movies, sleep.
