You have a "very" nice system Lapierre.... (although, I'd probably never get home from the office, on time for dinner, if I owned it!)

McIntosh C46 preamp sold in one day. New preamp should be in by March. Stay tuned.

Before the acoustic treatments, the room had a MAJOR slap echo. It was almost unlistenable-to me anyway. After the treatments, WOW! What a change. Everything became more focused and clean, no late reflections to deal with(I'm sure that my current treatment setup can be improved upon, but you must remember to balance optimal acoustic needs, with home decor. At the end of the day, you still have to live there). Still, certain passages of music that had a "harsh and bright" sound did no sound that way after the treatments.
I'm a huge fan of Marten Design. I spoke with Dan Meinwald at HE NY and heard the Duke Ellington's there and loved them. My friend has the Duke's. After listening, I fell in love and bought the Miles II's. The same friend just bought the Miles III's and they are incredible.
Thank you for the compliment on the EAR stuff. I've been a long time fan. I love everything Tim does...I had his 50 watt integrated, and the 20 watt integrated. My friend also has the 890, 509's, and 868 preamp-all great. So long.

Thank you sir.

It's a great system that works together (I'll skip the typical description you've heard hundreds of time already.) One of most surprising accomplishments is relearning music that you thought you knew.

As far as vinyl. I'm kicking myself for selling my beloved LPs (and Peach crates) back in the late 80's. Yeah I'm slowly migrating back to vinyl. Looking for vintage turntables with the wood base.

It's a long story Semi.

As of right now this is my main listening room. I've been building this system for two years with the idea of moving to a larger house.
