David,
Congratulations!!
Look what you've started.
Here it goes:
Almost 37, San Diego native. In the midts of divorcing my only spouse of 13 years. Been head-over-heels hooked on music since about 5 years old, (Inna-Godda-Da-Vida while waiting in the drive thru line at Jack-In-The-Box circa 1970). Got my first 'system' at 18 (Techniques and some Bose 301 Series II). Quickly bought and swapped componets to better the system when I discovered the beauty of tubes.
Now, with so many dollars and time spent, to finally reach mid-fi, my passion for this disease we call audiophilia has reached stage 3 and is getting worse.
The system currently consists of:
Pre: ARC SP6C
Power: Sound Valves M-40 monoblocks (front mains)
Power: Sound Valves VTA 70 (strapped in mono for Center Channel)
Power: NAD PE2100 w/volume controls as the Sub-Woofer amp
Kenleigh Passive Matrix Decoder
Kenleigh Focus Field Monitors (8" driver w/horn-loaded ribbon)
Kenleigh Focus Field Center Channel (same tweeter w/2x4" driver)
Kenleigh Focus Field Rear Recovery (single 8" driver)
M&K Passive 12" sealed Sub
Pioneer 3070 Laser
Samsung DVD
Cewl interconnects
Vinyl set-up in the works.
I much rather now stay at home for a DVD or Laser than waste the same money on a one-time big screen experience. I'm convinced that all projectionists are def and don't have a clue as to how big screen sound should be.
Cheers and Happy Listening,
Congratulations!!
