Living room system version 25 (???)

[gladiator335]

I can't even guess how many times my main system changed. :scratch2:
Well, you all know.....
So the newest iteration:
-Sony PS-X600 (need new cartridge though)...
-Alchemist Nexus APD32A CD player
- Pioneer RT-909 reel to reel
- Parasound Halo P3 preamp
- Emotiva XPA-200 power amp
- PC (for Pandora and digital music)
- Polk SDA SRS

Being the humble guy I am...it's nice!

Nice but where are your speakers? Those things aren't that easy to hide.

They are on a side of the room.
Not the best position but that's the only one (so far) I got approval for from the boss.

Great-looking system. Love that reel-to-reel


In the past five years, my system has evolved more than it has changed (Five years ago, I was more or less starting from scratch... Prior to that, I hadn't really taken it seriously). Started with a Sansui 4000, Dual 1019, and a pair of W60E's. 4000 became a 2000x, then I bought my first decent DAC and then some Grado SR80 headphones (This was the time period where I had to relocate for 9 months due to severe flood damage). The following summer I picked up my alnico, first-generation W90's along with a pair of W60's from the same era. Then the 2000x got replaced by a Fisher 800C. A couple months later, I put some really-nice vintage oil caps in the W90's. And shortly-after that, the SR80's got replaced by the RS2's as my main headphones (The 800C has a killer headphone stage, which is why I upgraduúed to a nicer pair). This summer I picked up a pair of W60D's along with an unfinished pair of the huge '50's sand-filled corner cabs (minus the Twin Treble tops), plus I spent time working on my turntable setup this year before finally doing a full restoration on the Fisher about a month ago, and that's where I'm at right now. Just kicking back and enjoying the fruits for a while before I move on the next upgrade.

Soooo.......I've noticed you've been sending a few pairs of speakers to new homes recently; but not the big polks.
Are you going to be able give them an optimum set up eventually?

 

[gladiator335]

Eventually? I hope so.
Though room has such configuration that there is no obvious optimum position.
Besides for every inch left or right I have to have an approval.
But as they sit now they fill the room with the sound nicely.
