Arggg...I ended giving my 636 to my brother after him harassing me to get it so now I am ampless for the main system right now 
I am in the process of updating the wiring in my Bozak's and am awaiting the new crossovers. So hopefully by next week, the Bozak's will be back in the main system. I am not sure what would be the best match up amp/receiver wise for my Bozak's so I started a thread in the General section and hopefully I will get some recommendations from some people on the forum as to the best match up. Keep your fingers crossed for me and throw a suggestion at my thread if ya have any idea's. Thanks!

It is like walking through a Audio Museum! Very nice system and home.
Enjoy,
John.
Nice looking Hitachi turntable. They built some great stuff in those days, and it really flies under the radar.
I did some re-arranging today. I got my Optonica SM-7305 amp in the mail today from David and boy is that slim line amp a supriser! It weighed a ton and the sound is simply superb. So I replaced the SX-636 in my office setup with the Optonica and moved the SX-636 and Hatachi TT over to where my Master Bedroom setup is at and am now running my TF-500's off the Pioneer receiving signal from the front pre-outs on the HTR-5790. Im still waiting on my DBX amp for the main system unfortunately. Thanks for the compliments everyone. These audio components tht I have collected and the home I was able to buy have been a dream come true and I have members of the AK forum to thank for the audio portion of my home! I'll post some updated pics when I finally get me DBX amp back and setup.

Another change in the main system. I got my Bozak B-305's up and going with some freshly modified crossovers, new internal wiring, and upgraded the speaker connectors from those crappy screw on connectors to 5 way gold plated binding post. I think I am going to recloth the grills on the Bozaks with the same cloth I used on my AR's to match. I also recently picked up a mint Kenwood KD-2077 TT which replaced my Dual TT. I also added a Yamaha EQ-500 in the mix which helped with the slight lack of crisp highs I am used to from the Bozaks. I finally got my DBX BX-3 MKII amp back which sounds wonderful with my matchup of speaker. I have everything ran into my ADCOM GTP-500II preamp. Here are some pics: (Did I mention I LOVE big VU meters!)
It's the best sounding combo I've put together thus far. I've got a Ortofon 2M Blue cart coming hopefully tomorrow to replace my Grado Blue so that should improve the sound as well. I'm glad you noticed the photo effect I was going for. Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Office update. I switched in my AR Classic 5's in place of the Klipschs and am powering them with my Maggy 175 tube amp. This speaker/tube amp make a fine combo. As far as CPU updates, I replaced the memory with 16GB of DDR3 2133MHz memory. I added a second 128GB SSD in which I run both SSD's at raid 0, added a second 2TB platter drive which I also run both at raid 0, and lastly added a 3TB plater drive as backup for the system and the network.
