Updated basic stereo system. Newly joined the band is a pair of Klipsch Reference RF-25's. Awesome dynamic power. I had to kick the B&W's out because of the size of my new living room. Around 16WX25DX8H. Klipsch provide a more "live" sound, which is what I have been looking for all these years. I just purchased a Jolida JD-100 CDP. Amazing unit, opened up the sound and definatly more enjoyable to listen to over the Sony ES unit I had. I also upgraded the tubes in my 1701 to Tung Sol from Ei. The Tung-sols are more lush and musical than the Ei tube, which made my system hard, although good tubes for the Jolida CDP.
Sorry for the late response. Your room has alot of corners that break the sound. If a "live" sound is what your after, then curtains and sone plants would be your best bet. Maybe some bass traps in the corner where the sub is and diffusiors just above your main speakers.
I see you have change rooms. Even though you said that the system give you a "live" sound in the room, Have you consider room treatment? How is the Joilda working with the RF-25? Thanks and happy listening
Nice system Deech. I must say I have the same television as yours except mine is a 14 inch. How do you like the HSU sub? I was going to buy a STF-1 but bought a VTF-2 instead. Happy listening.
