I love the look of those Soliloquy 6.5 speakers.

Could you tell me more about them?

And the overall look of your system- stunning indeed. Love that nifty rack.
 
i seem to remember some kind of rack-mounted gear in this room before...

was it high end kenwood, or akai? i cant remember...

These are Soliloquy's TOTL speakers that are quite rare. They were made right before they went out of business (2001/2002) and you rarely see a set for sale. I was lucky to have picked them up at a good price with a couple of blown woofers (previous owner wiggled a power tube in his amp). With the help of a couple of AK'ers I was able to source some original replacement 12 ohm drivers. They sound great in my 14' x 22' room!

(SIGH)....your digital system looks killer too. I am reminded of how crumby my pics turn out in my dark basement when I see your gorgeous pics.

You really have done a wonderful job of matching your gear and displaying it. I am much more taken with your analog set up. Why bother with the line stage, the DB doesnt have variable output? That would be a great mod now wouldn't it?

Enjoy you deserve it...
 
That is a gorgeous setup, both of them! WoW those Soliloquy speakers are just stunning. Good on ya Eh!
 
Very nice. Both are impressive, but I especially like the Nak. I still have my old RX-303 that I bought decades ago...

There are a pair of those 6.5s on that certain website that rhymes with gone. Only the second pair I have seen for sale in 3 years and I bought the first pair.

Thanks everyone! I couldn't have done it without the guidance, insights, and motivational examples from all my fellow AK'ers! Also, my wife who does not tolerate clutter...
 
Ahhhhhh the Soliloquy midrange,gottta love it!

Yes,the 6.5's look great.I purchased a pair of 6.2i's in 2000 and are still in my main rig.
On a side note,there is not a worse place to setup your TT.....except maybe in the rear corner.:smoke:
