Intro from Sacramento, CA

Before I ask my first question, I’d like to introduce myself. I am in Sacramento, CA and I bought my first stereo system in my mid-20’s sometime back in the mid-80’s (very foggy about specifics). Anyone here from Sacramento remember Keith Yates Audio?

I had a Luxman R-113, entry level Nakamichi cassette player and Kyocera CD player, playing through DCM Time Frame speakers (350s or 500s, not sure) and Stax headphones. Like I said, I’m a little foggy on the details. Over time equipment died or was sold off, a girlfriend became my wife and other life stuff…

Long story short, I now find myself with a Sonos system running through two Emotiva A-100 amps playing through a pair of Martin Logan Motion 35XTi speakers.

Here's my not complicated system.

I have the two amps because of the setup I had in my pervious house where I used them to power speakers in two different rooms.

For a while in my current house one of the amps sat in a closet, cold and sad. I had a brilliant idea a couple months ago – let’s bi-amp my speakers! I bought twice as much speaker wire than I need ;) and pulled the sad and cold amp out of the closet and wired up my speakers. I think they’re better, but that’s not where this story ends.

That’s my introduction. I’ll post my question in the appropriate forum.

Thanks in advance for any opinions, advice, and wisdom.

Hi KenG1999 and welcome to AK. I am still using a old Kyocera cd and works like a champ in one of my systems. Share some pics :D
 
I searched around and found the Upload Photos option. That seems to have worked for other people. If you get a chance let me know.
Thanks,
I see the pictures now, nice looking setup, speakers need a bit more room to breathe. Don't worry, it took some time to get my bride used to the idea, just move them a bit at a time lol.
 
Yes, that is the storage and background music listening position. When she's away I bring them out and play with toe and distance.
Glad the pictures showed up.
 
Welcome aboard. Stacking amplifiers doesn't allow for much breathing room.;)
 
Welcome! Sacramento (and surrounding areas) is always on my Craigslist searches. There's a TON of opportunity up there for vintage (and other) gear!
