What Makes your System Special?

Well, a lot of highs really, but the thing that makes it most special for me is the midrange of my Stax F-81 electrostatics. With the POSSIBLE exception of Roger Sanders’ electrostats I have never heard a more realistic rendering of midrange. Soundstaging is also fantastic, but on a smaller scale than many audiophile systems. What would I change? I wish their bass extension were on the same level as the rest of their range. Quality is very good down to the lower mid bass. After that my two REL subs take over with fairly good success. A bit frustrating, but no way would I give up that midrange.

Great topic. DIY Linkwitz LXmini speakers with open-baffle subs makes my system special to me. Each of the 8 channels controlled by miniDSP DDRC-88A/BM. What would I change - does anyone have 4 matching Denafrips Aries2 or HoloAudio/Kitsune DACs they want to sell cheap?

Well, that was a silly typo. 

“a lot of highs, really” should read “a lot of things, really”. Excessive highs is definitely not something to be heard from my system 😱

The liquid liquidity of its liquidness. Oh...and the fact that it's in my house and I can listen to music through it.

I would have say my ARC LS15 that l bought in 1995 I'm still using it to this day and just recently replaced the original tubes Excellent built quality, great sound and made in the US
