Description

My second system was largely based around the Revel Performa3 F208 speakers driven by a pair of Benchmark AHB2 power amps. 

It has now been updated to a more definitive system: underpinned by my Genelec 8361A monitors and surprising Chinese pre-amplification.

The analogue front end is awaiting arrivals. Will update as things take their ultimate shape!!

    • Revel Performa3 F208 Speakers
    A superb set of speakers for my given listening room. The Revel's are objectively accurate within small margins. Harmon continue to develop monitors based on blind testing and technologically measured accuracy. When supported by a system of similar quality, they amaze.
    • Benchmark AHB2 Power amps
    Objectively, no power amplifier measures better than these. When run in mono, they offer huge power, ridiculously low levels of distortion and unsurpassed quite.
    • Genelec 8361A monitors
    Amongst the greatest speakers in existence. The accuracy and flexibility of these monitors surpass words.

    They are the basis on which all other equipment decisions are made and judged.
    • Topping D90 SE DAC, Pre90 preamp, and Ext90 preamp input extension
    Again, objectively near perfect,. These DACs give you amazing levels of resolution and accuracy. A clear sign of the advances made in Chinese technology.
    • Marantz CD7
    Still my tried and trusted favourite. Although, it now operates only as a transport for my Topping D90 SE DAC.

Very nice 2nd system! Are the Genelecs for surround or just a different sound from time to time?
