2ch setup

[Invisible]

Thought I would post a few pictures of my current 2 channel setup.

Cary Audio Design CAD-211 Anniversary Edition mono-blocks - Cary Audio Design SLP-05 fully balanced preamp - Cary Audio Design Silver Oak I Reference 2-way loudspeaker

The transport in this photo is just my old Sony DVP-S9000ES. It was my reference player for quite a while as I got to know it's sound quite well.

Damn, thats beautiful.

We need a listening party tour schedule.

The pictures don't really do the finish that much justice. The chasis of both mono-blocks and the pre are anthracite black which is a color from the Jaguar line of autos. They look great in person.

In my 2-channel listening room, I run a pair of McIntosh XRT-29's which are currently being tri-amped. With speakers that hungry they have really bloomed since tri-amping them. The only downside is the cost of running 3 different sets of speaker wires. That in itself damn near broke me! Good luck with the new setup.

how are you triamping those beasts?  6 monoblocks?

Believe it or not, I have a set of the tri-chassis MC2KW mono-blocks on extended loan from the manufacturer.

You've got to be kidding right? The mac was simply on loan from the manufacturer. I orginally stated that fact. It has now gone back.

Yes we do. And that rig is just gorgeous - I want to hear it so badly....

Where are you located

[kskreider]

The glow of tubes is so beautiful.

I can hear your electric meter spinning from here.

[Nick's Picks]

gorgeous !

Stunning, talk about high WAF! I have always wanted to hear Carey tube gear, someday maybe I'll give it a shot for giggles. Tubes aren't that much worse then any other high current drawing class A amp.

Dude.. pull those speakers out from that corner! It kills me when I see (in my customer's homes and on Audiogon, etc.) these great high end systems with speakersstuffed into a  corner and 6" from the walls. All those reflections will crush your imaging. Yea I know there is the "wife factor" but still if she let you spend 30K on a system she should at least let you set it up to make the most of it! Then again... I'm not married

I agree, most of the time when I see a pic of a system on Agon, the speakers are jammed against the wall for WAF. Like driving a vette on four donuts IMO

EDIT: If those speakers are ported it looks like they would be rear ported, definitely don't want a rear ported speaker that close to the wall.
