Description

This photo was taken from (above) my listening chair.  Sound is acceptable all over the room. This is the quietest room in the house so although the arrangement is a bit strange, being in the bedroom, it's my best option. I am not running the Toslink into the Motu in this photo; just going direct from Google CCA DAC. This system sounds great.  My brother in law has a $100k system and this one is half+ as good to my ears. I have less than $4k into this system.

@danknowlton  oh, that photo is a month old. I do have a new guitar! (and a few under the bed ;) Rythmiks don't seem to get much love around here. They're so fast and clean...and reasonably priced. One of these days I'd love to hear the Ascend Acoustics Sierras.  My next speakers will probably be JBL 3409s. There's some on ebay right now for $1100.  Must. Resist.
