| Amplifier: | A handmade Pre/power combo with 500w in to 1 ohm, originally driving a pair of Maggies in the UK |
| Preamplifier (or None if Integrated): | Pert of the above designed system. MOTI - monsters of the Id, who killed the Krell in a single day. The designer had a sense of fun! |
| Speakers: | 1988 Magnepan IIIa, refurbished at the factory 2002 and still as new. no modifications |
| Sources: | |
| CD Player/DAC: | A 1988 vintage Sony CDP 227ESD, the poor mans Esprit model player of the day. |

| Other Source(s): | Sacrelidge, but I connect this to my trusty iPod! |
| Other Accessories/Room/Misc.: | |

| Room Size (LxWxH): | 20ft x 18ft x 8ft |
| Room Comments/Treatments: | This is a tiled floor room with windows on 3 sides. Heavy drapes behind the Maggies when in use and to protect against the sun. |
| Music Preferences and Comments: | |
| Music Used (Genre/Selections): | Ambient, Acoustic and Jazz. Enjoying some Japanese origin Ecousic sounds via iTunes store. |
| System Goals/Comments: | I think an update on the source next, but likely also a teakwood stand for the components and a selection of discs. |
| System Strengths: | That all around Maggie sound! Even bass through to trebble and beyond. |
| System Weaknesses: | Sorry... nothing! |
| Video/HT System: Separate | |
| TV/Projector: | Sharp PG15s |
| Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: | Yamahe surround amp |
| Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): | Yamaha, all in one processor and amp (37 watts! total) but superb for the bedroom and DVD watching. The movie is the fun, not a precise soundstage. |
| Sources (DVD/VCR): | Denon 1920 DVD, driving Sharp through component output. Sharp too old to have HDCP! |
| Other HT Gear: | Several Apple macs which serve as portable DVD and music machines. |
| Comments on HT System: | I'd like to get my old Gale 220s in to the system as main L+R so need some cabling work one weekend. |
