Well, we moved over the winter and have finally settled into the new place. My dream of building a dedicated listening room in the basement has been put on a hold for the foreseeable future since I'm spending the money to work on some drainage issues in the yard ($11k+... 
). In trying to minimize my system's footprint, I decided to keep the Apogee Duetta Signatures boxed up for now and went with a pair of Spatial Audio M2 Turbo S open baffle speakers. I also was using a NuPrime ST-10 power amplifier so I could keep it in the TV case and to keep the heat down in a room that has no air conditioning (if you look closely, you may still see it in the picture - bottom right shelf), but wanted my big boy amps back in the system so the Audio Research VM220's came out of their boxes.
Components:
Speakers: Spatial Audio M2 Turbo S
Amps: Audio Research VM220 monoblocks running KT-120 tubes and NuPrime ST-10
Pre: Audio Research LS25
DAC: Audio Research DAC-7
Phono: Audio Research PH-3 with VAS SUT
TT: Well Tempered Amadeus with Dynavector 17D3 LOMC cartridge
CD: Meta Research Laser 1
R2R: Pioneer RT-707
ASUS latop for Foobar duty
Thanks for looking.
