ganda ... lalo na yung Linda Ronstadt LP (Simple Dreams) sa tabi ng left speaker. I suggest you optimize speaker placement using the Cardas Rule (you can view it at WS Speaker Section). Very big improvement you'll get I can say since halos parang pareho tayo ng room dimensions.

You know there is something wrong when your setup is HT pero you are more keen in listening to music  ;D

Very nice.

thanks devo/audiojunkie/cocoboy,

yes, the B&K is one of the few tube-sounding SS amps around. very dependable quality, built like a tank.
so many rules for speaker placement...but will try them anyway. thanks for the info devo.

of course it is (i used to do that myself)....but things change and for now, it delights me to see only a 2-ch audio set up in my listening room. pass muna ako sa HT, ive been there 7 years back and has given it up already about a year ago :)

hi allan,

eto matagal ko na hinihintay na maipost mo. finally naipost na din for everyone to appreciate.

bakit wala pa mga new gears? malayo pa din yan sa katotohanan a.

hope to hear that awesome system of yours soon! hintay ko lang availability ni ryan.
