Hi CV. You're welcome to come over anytime.
It really is sucha rush to hear beautiful music from these modest systems. I get more of a kick listening to the $29 hot rodded T-Amp and the Michauras than the big Thiel CS 3.6 7.1 channel system.
The den's tube system is a joke. I paid $60 for the Dahlquists (I refinished them and of course upgraded the x-over with the Regnar kit) and love to listen to FM jazz on this system. I haven't set up the outboard Scott Multiplexer yet, so I listen to FM with this system in mono playing through both speakers and the subwoofer. You'd be amazed at how pure music sounds in mono. There's a Sony CA9ES CDP when I want to listen in stereo, but most of the time, I use this system for the Sweet Scott FM music.
BTW, the Scott is a tube tuner, of course.
