Scaling down

my take on this is that having just one system doesn't work for me. so i have 4 systems of varying costs and applications. all are very enjoyeable.

I guess I should have given more of an explanation. I do have three systems if you include the garage one, but the main system in the living room takes up allot of space and we do a fair bit of entertaining. So a more unobtrusive system would better. Moving the turntable, records cleaning machine, etc, etc to the lake spot helped quite a bit but there is still a ton of stuff, 1400 pounds actually.

if your main speakers are panels, replacing them with "boxes" will not make you a happy camper.

A few years ago I scaled down to a pair of ProAc 1SC with a cary 300sei integrated with a good cd player and I was in audio heaven. Had the system for a couple of years and was very happy with it. Good Luck and keep us posted.
