Looking fantastic, system-wise.  Would love to hear your impressions of the AR monoblocs with the Vandy 5A's.  As a new 5A owner, I'm looking for the "ultimate" amplifier to drive the top ends.  Your thoughts on tube versus solid state amplification with the Vandy 5A's?  Thanks and good listening.

Thanks for your insight C1ferrari I still have to post new pictures the one posted is 3 years old. This system sounds natural with zero fatigue the XV-1S is brilliant.

Hello,

Great combo/system...5A's are a fine choice. The XV-1S is on my short list :-)

Congrats,
Sam

Hi Straightahead,

Looks like a wonderful room in which to enjoy music. I can see a small hand by the Audio Perfectionist Journal in some of your component choices and it has clearly paid off.

Best Regards,
Aaron
