Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system?

" Ideal system for a SMALL space is a headphone system ,
With a little careful buying you can get as good, or better, than the average
10K$ system for a thousand bucks .
And 95% of the population can adjust to "phones. After 3-4 weeks they seem normal ."

Great Point "Schubert"

I put my current system of Quad VA-One driving Dynaudio Excite X14’s up against anything out there in a small room...
Even at lower listening levels it still has body and detail...I’ve experimented with plugging the port and putting them against the wall and the room still disappears..Amazing pint size speakers and superbly musical amp with fantastic(although underpowered)headphone circuit...

This thread is a good idea and I REALLY want to shout out again to the wonderful Quad VA-One control amp...Search out the reviews,this little powerhouse is about as close to the perfect apartment amp as anything out there at any price!

+2 for 'phones, and I hate them!
But if I had to live in an apartment, that's all I would use.
