I'm really very fortunate to have a system and space that are so utterly satisfying to me. I can just get lost in here.

3/22/16 Edit: Earlier this year I replaced EMM Labs DCC2 SE and CDSD SE with an Allnic L-3000 Mk II tube preamp and a Playback Designs MP-5 Reference SACD/CD Player/DAC.  I could not possibly be happier!

That is a nice system and a good looking room.  My current room has a peaked midline and it sounds great.  I like the wall cabinets too.  Also, I enjoyed your response to the moron, well done.
