Additionally, I have added two PS Audio Power Plant Premiers to control and clean up the outlet electricity. I have also added a number of Stax headphones to my collection as well.

    • Adona Corporation Signature Model 45VM4
    The Model 35VM4 is part of the Adona's Signature Series. I use one stand for all of my headphone equipment and the other stand is for my external equipment. I quickly heard the improves in sound that developed with the Signature 45VM4s. I can't imagine how great the Adona Reference series stands are?

I am also using a Klipsch Center speaker which is running with my McIntosh MC 501. The Klipsch Center Speaker is not visible in any of these photos. This photo was taken before the arrival of my Adona amp stands.

System edited: This is my systm as of July 22011. I am a McIntosh and Stax freak. This is system is total overkill for a Manhattan apartment. I must say that I never have had a complaint from my neighbors and I don't play my music at loud volumes. The Vegas sound just fine to me as well. I just added a second McIntosh Mt 10 Turntable and am awaiting delivery of a McIntosh MEN220 Room Correction Unit. Additionally I added a number of Stax Headphones not seen in the headphone picture. Thank you for looking at my system.

System edited: My Adona Corporation Reference Amp Stands just arrived today. It took a couple of hours to set them up and then I need two helpers to lift the amps onto the amp stands. They really look great.

Great system. Way to much power for apartment living; but what the heck.

System edited: My system is almost complete. I would like to add better speaker cables and better balanced inter connectors between my amps and preamp. That is all that is left to do over the next year or two.

System edited: Just a little bit clearer than the previous pictures- I picked up four Cerwin Vega CMX 212s that you can slightly see in this new photo. My dog Buddy also is in the photo.

System edited: Recently purchased four Cerwin Vega CMX 212s. Each speaker has two electrically power 12 inch subwoofers. Cerwin Vega always give more clear and tight bass than any other speaker. If you like good bass, then Cerwin Vega far exceeds much of the high end speaker market for a fraction of the price.

Roxy- Yes the amps are great. They are really overkill as I live in a very small apartment in NYC. I just had to have them though! Do you have a system up on Audiogon as well? I would enjoy seeing it. Scottsmrnyc

System edited: I am now done building this system for a while. I could still use a good turntable and cd player as well as a great small rear set of speakers; but that will have to wait for a year or two. You might as why I now have four McIntosh 1.2kws living in such a small Manhattan apartment and I must be honest and say that I just wanted them. They are certainly overkill; but I am enjoying their sound and I never play my music at high volumes either! That is the beauty of McIntosh. They sound incredible at low and middle level volumes as well. Enjoy and thanks for looking at my system. Scottsmrnyc

System edited: I have recently added two McIntosh Labs MX 135s, I am taking a break from adding any new pieces for this year. I am very pleased with the sound improvements created from the new MX 135s. I am using one MX 135 in Stereo mode for my external system and one MX 135 for my headphone system. I now have two Wadia 170 docking stations. I question whether I will actually need to buy a nice CD Player or another Turntable. Some people would question the selection of my Cerwin Vega D9s; two of which are biwired for the left channel and two for the right channel. I was pleasantly surprised on how great they sounded once I connected them to the MX 135.

System edited: My current system contains some components that are considered to be standardly excellent as well as some components that I think are great but might not be considered high end. These surprise piece, such as the Cerwin Vega D9s, are just as competitive if not better than many high end pieces I have heard at the various audio salons and shows I have attended. High end to me is totally about sound performance not about the money price of a product. Scottsmrnyc

System edited: I recently added two McIntosh Labs MX 135s. ONe is being used as a preamp for my external speaker system and the other is being used as a Headphone preamp. I plan to do some more upgrade in a year or so. Oh, by the way, that's my dog, Buddy, in the photo.
