I like the idea of 2 stand-mounted mains and in similar fashion to Elk above ^ recco minimum x2 subs to balance the room. Cheers

I'm sliding slowly into the 21st century w/some new gear here - just beginning the testing phase of integrating the minidsp flex/dirac device's tricks - you are looking at just 3 sources(the old Sony R2R & the dmp3 are just bling here - nothing is set in stone as far as placement in my cabinets...

In the last month, Aimee Mann, Marc Cohn - this summer we have tix to see Ben Howard, Bruce Hornsby(w/the local symphony orchestra), Keb Mo, Shawn Colvin, MUTEK in Montreal. A friend just offered me two seats to the Stones at Soldier Field Chicago - but I think it would just be more than a...

Mrs Natural & I saw U2 in October from the Sphere's GA floor, maybe 15 meters from the band. Sound was terrific and very balanced ~85db according to my iPhone. Peace

I just got one of these to upgrade phono as part of my "moving into the 21st century" update program :=) I'm currently running a Sumiko Pearl on an Audioquest AQ2 arm, mounted on a Revolver Super table.

update : the dome replacements don't fit so I ordered whole new tweeter assemblies from MA - fresh ferro fluid etc. It was either that or buy new speaks with all the complexities & cost of that decision. Cheers

I'm just doing a 2 channel set-up similar to the OP's vision, this is for my stereo room as video/Atmos happens in the living room. Here's what I've come-up with so far : Airplay2 streamer and CD & phono sources > miniDSP Flexbox/Dirac/as a Pre via rca's > Fosi V3 amp > sub & speaks

easy for me to suggest Amy Winehouse here . . .

Nostalgia is a drug

I plugged it in to test it only, still obviously having leagues to go before the thing is dialed in. At the same time have upgraded to a Fosi V3 amp to drive the speaks. Welcome to the 21st Century son. I've got signal ! Cheers

Conversely I might be the only 66yr old guy who absolutely loves Deadmau5
