This is nearing the completion, my revamped office 2.1 system. We had or floors done in hickory about a year ago, and I started planning changes. All that remains is a good thick area rug, a center drawer for the computer desk, and acoustic panels to better control some reflections.
One of three special color combinations offered in the passive LS50's shortly before the LS50 Wireless was announced. On KEF (Custom Design) GFS124 stands.
NAD Masters M10
One of the first two that were shipped to my dealer, among the first 100 of them that were air-freighted to the US in early February 2019. I bought it the day they got the two on February 10th, and they were not to get more for several months as I enjoyed mine. :) I stream Tidal HiFi and Amazon Music HD with it.
European Audio Team C-Major turntable w/ Ortofon Quintet Blue
I chose this one because of the features being what I needed in a quiet, smooth-running yet new and warrantied unit. I needed an integral dust cover, and you can see the shelf attached to the window as evidence of why...CAT-TV channel 1. I've added a Tron LED light to help with seeing dust I'm trying to remove before play. The Quintet Blue moving coil cartridge is the first MC cartridge I've owned, and it's a revelation. It beats out the Ortofon 2M Red that I had on my previous TT by leaps and bounds. They will be more!
Schiit Audio MANI
Schiit Mani solid state phono stage. Out-performs many more expensive ones and I feel it's flexibility in settings allows it to work with a wider range of cartridges. Love it!
KEF Kube 10B subwoofer
I got this sub used, but clearly a barely used one as they'd only been on the market about 8 weeks when it popped up on a FB Group. The DSP allows adjustment to work in tighter spaces, and it's PERFECT for me. I have an SVS SB2000 in another system, but this Kube 10b is far better for the audible sound wave range I need for music I listen to.
The room remains, but no longer used as a music listening space. The NAD M10, KEF LS50's, and E.A.T. C-Major TT have all been sold off. The desktop now simply has a pair of KEF Egg active speakers to act as "computer speakers" and a used KEF Kube 2 sub. The twin Kube 10b subs I had in the office are now part of my modest living room 5.2 system, the SVS SB2000 long gone. My new music room kicks ass, with 2 Luxman turntables, a Luxman integrated, and KEF Reference 1's.
