So, I haven't posted here in about 5 years. Been lurking and reading up in the meantime trying to find good bang for the buck components after selling my last system off. Previous system was a McIntosh 2105 amp, C28 preamp, Pioneer PL41 turntable, and Klipsch KG3 speakers. Unfortunately money got tight and the Mac stack became a new TV and tires for my car. Pioneer never quite worked right so that got sold, and the Klipsch stuck around until they were replaced a couple weeks ago by a pair of Energy reference connoisseur RC 10b's. In the meantime, I have managed to build 3 new systems in the house the fiancee and I closed on almost a year ago. Much as it sucked getting rid ofy original setup, I'm even happier with my main rig now, and I have two additional systems to boot! Components are swapped out occasionally, but as of right now the systems are:
Living room/home theater
Marantz 1090 integrated, Technics M205 cassette deck, Nakamichi 5 disc chamger, Cambridge Audio ensemble speakers, and an 8" AR sub stuffed behind the TV stand.
Basement/man cave (work in progress)
Nikko na-890 integrated, Kenwood kd 2070 turntable, JVC CD player, Epicure 20 speakers and a Dayton sub-1200.
Bedroom/main rig
Sony ta-e1000esd pre, Dayton APA 150 monoblocks, Yamaha kx-380 cassette deck, Integra cdc-3.4 CD player, Pro-ject debut turntable, Energy RC10b speakers, and Velodyne Servo 1200 sub. Currently waiting on a Sansui B-2101 amp to come back from the shop so I can bi-amp the Energy's.
Pardon the long-winded post and crappy cell phone photography ! Just wanted to share in this addictive gear-collecting hobby lol.
