Great looking system - I bet it sounds fantastic. Congrats
Looks good, neater, tidier and cleaner than my system
I am liking it !!! Love tall systems. What is your rack ? and turntable support ? Combined well.
Hi Barry,
That’s a very nice and obviously well thought out system. I particularly like the amp/speaker combo, which should show really well what the best (affordable) modern equipment is capable of.
Respect for using a NAD pre and power, which should not only work superbly well with your speakers, but gel together musically to produce a rather convincing and effortless sound - nice one!
Marco.

Thanks for the heads up Marco, I'll check out the opposition in case I need to do a better one
The buying of the NADS prompted the rack and speaker replacement, straight away the sound was all on top of me and it was obvious some space was needed.
The speakers were 5 foot apart now 7.5 foot and a foot further back, plus slightly toed in, I had a problem with power leads in the new position so bought a 6 way MDU what a surprise that was !
