Description

This is my 2 channel/home theater system. It has evolved quite a bit over the last year. I mostly listen to music on vinyl and the HT is almost an afterthought... not that I don't enjoy it. I bi-amp my RBH 1266-SE LE speakers. I use the Manley Neo-Classic 300B SET amps to run the midrange and tweeters and the NAD T973 for the bass. I use the Marchand active crossover--it is a tube crossover--to split the signal and I use the Speltz autoformers to reduce the impedance that the Manley amps face. My system gets me alarmingly close to the music. I am very happy with the way it sounds, it is always compelling and often startling. I live in a small loft apartment. My living room is where the system is located. The room is 22 X 26 with bamboo floors and a 12 ft high concrete ceiling. I have yet to attempt any room treatments, but I might later on.
