A keep on going journey in the hi fi world

[Montanari]

Ciao!
I always enjoyed listen to music
At the end of secondary school, when all my friends got a motorcycle, I asked for a stereo
I still didn't know about hid but I was already attracted to luxury speaker and amp.
During the university I was listening with denon d2000 and later hd600. And I thought to be a bit crazy saving to spend so much in electronics
But when I started to work I could afford my first real sustemhttp://i64.tinypic.com/2a6tpgk.jpg

Opera prima loudspeaker , ming da mc34-06 amp, rega p2 with dl103 and dynavector p75, marantz cd 6003

[struth]

always wanted a ming da amp. very nice set up:)

[Montanari]

After a while I went to work in Middle East and I didn't know how to listen to music, so I came back to headphone

And I was listening to a lot of music!

I listen to all kind of music and one headphone wasn't enough anymore
This for example is what I like to listen electronic

[Montanari]

Then I come back home, in my country, getting back to the speaker but didn't left headphone anymore

I didn't like this speakers

[Montanari]

I upgraded to floorstand , finally improved the acoustic of my room, but to big for my room

[Montanari]

So it started the walzer of the standmounts!

Very nice with jazz but miss dynamic and a bit of anger for modern music

[Montanari]

Very very nice and great looking but need a lot of power and I had the valve amp in that period

[Montanari]

Until they arrived

And I found so far my journey
Diapason adamantes

[Montanari]

And then I got an amazing amp where to plug all my toys

[Montanari]

Got more toys !

Wow you certainly have had some good gear
I too had a flirtation with Cremona Auditors......Fabulous sound from such a small speaker:wow:

[Montanari]

Until now
I live for rent in another city and I bring a small second system for speaker -Proac supertablette- http://i67.tinypic.com/25r2xdu.jpgand of course the headphone to not bother the neighborhood all the time
Meanwhile at home I still have diapason adamantes amped by a huge Unico 100, that I would like to change for something smaller, the main source is the chord Hugo that I bring wherever I go!
Thanks and sorry if I bothered you
Just wanted to share my passion

[Montanari]

I'm an architect so I did it by myself!
The tube are basstrap made with glass wool pretty huge in size , around 50cm of diameter , the panel are rock wool high density and 15cm thick+air in the back
I put some rock wool panel on the ceiling as well for the reverb and I'm in the process of building 2helmotz for the lower frequencies from 80hz in pretty flat but I use Dirac as well
the mic and measurement was another foundamental stop in the journey
