Used Amati. A generation older but spectacular sounding- for ears that like SF. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb15dh-sonus-faber-armati-futura-grey-chrome-full-range Used prices are always negotiable too. Different model, but very nice, and close to the $40K Stradivari. Winner for the price.

Always love visiting your system in our virtual world. Took a look at your office system and I'm curious to know why there are three screens on your desk and what appears to be a fairly elaborate Desktop computer on the floor. Curious what you do here, fascinating. Actually I'm still looking for an upgrade to my current 802 d3s, comforting to hear that you like the traditional amati. I don't think the ill cremonese makes sense with that very weird subwoofer at the bottom of the speaker. If I go to another set of speakers I think I may entertain a used Lilium even though my room size might limit their full potential and the bass may be overwhelming and not appropriate. It's tough upgrading from the 802 D3, not sure the 801 D4 makes sense.

I was a senior director of IT for a global high tech company. So, well, I have been into IT for decades. Also, I traveled extensively and photography was an ongoing pursuit. So I have over 10 terabytes of photographs, which I used the monster tower to store and edit. I also used to simultaneously work on all sorts of stuff. A few months ago I powered it on (30tb storage, water cooled cpu and huge graphics processor) and my Outlook mail accounts wouldn’t work as usual when I don’t power it up for a month. After an hour I couldn’t get a single one to work. That was it. I had it with Windows (I literally bought Windows 1.0... it did not work at all... wasn’t useful until Windows 3.11). I use several iPads, iPhone and a MacBook. I bought the brand new M4 MacBook and as soon as the M4 Mac Studio... I replaced my windows tower PC and my 40tb NAS... and now am an all Apple shop. I also ditched the extra screens... I used to work at home in the morning and night... I don't have to multitask like I used to. I posted a new photo of my office with the tiny more powerful Mac Studio and one monitor. Being retired has advantages... simplicity. |
