Title: My system. WITH PICS.
Post by: Falcon on September 28, 2010, 05:33:06 AM:   Well, after a very long time, my system is just about done. It has taken a ton of time and, money.. And a lot of help from Tommy. :D
  The system currently consist of a awe inspiring pair of Snell Type B speakers. Many of you have heard them at Tom's place. They sound even better when set up properly in a home environment. The current power amps are a pair of Denon POA-6600A mono block amps. They are capable 1,100 watts at 1 ohm!! And a very serious 55 amps of high current!! And not only that, they sound superb. :D :D :D
The Pre-Amp is a tubed Melos MA-111B, God, I love this pre amp..
With out question, the finest sounding pre amp, that I have ever heard. :o :o
  The CD players are excellent a sounding Myryad T-20, and very good sounding Sony DVP- NS3100 ES.
  Power filtering is done by a Monster Power HTS-3600.
  Speaker Cables are M.I.T., and the I/C cables are M.I.T. and Tributaries.
   So, the big question, how does it sound??
Freaking incredible!!! Everything about it, sounds right to me. Sound stage is huge, imaging is spot on.. The lowest frequency's shake the house!! and never sound boomy. No sub required with the Snell's, they are true full range speaker's. It does not matter if it is Jazz, Classic Rock, Blues, whatever, it all sounds great.
   The only down side to this system, is that I don't know how to make it any better..
  Here are a few pics. Feel free to comment, good or bad.

I highly doubt that, lol.

Congrats on getting the system of your dreams! Very cool.

Post by: thuffman03 on September 28, 2010, 10:52:48 PM: Very nice Mikey...Though I doubt you will ever be done tweaking.

Post by: Falcon on September 29, 2010, 12:02:29 AM: Thank you all..
I hope to never be done tweaking... That is the best part for me. I love switching out gear every couple days... :o :o
Today a pair of B&W 802's followed me home... The Snell's beat them, but, after putting some spikes on the bottom of the B&W speakers, they really improved the sound. :D Also the B&W's are liking the hi current power of the Denon mono blocks.
Also a very rare vintage Sansui amp came home with me... To many toy's......
