We started the Quads with D-class amps and swapped in the tube amps from the main system.

I had a few friends over yesterday. We spent the day listening to music and playing around with different gear. The main system started out with horn and tube amps. This changed to solid state amps late in the day.

Yes, systems are bluetooth capable. For me, the Klipsch Cornwall III have more detail and tighter bass than the La Scala.

And the sun room. This one is always in a state of flux. More for fun than dedicated listening. The big Klipsch on the ends are presently visiting a friend's house in Austin.

There is the living room.

I like big speakers and I can not lie.

They are amazing speakers. They have the detail, speed and immediacy of an electrostat, but they also have real bass. More than my previous Martin Logans. The soundstage has incredible depth. I really like them. My only wish is I had a room where they could be placed with nothing between them...

All set now.

Audio is a disease with no cure. Audio is my master. I am but a humble servant. Audio is a drug and I am addicted.

It's all relative. My perception of huge may have been skewed by the speakers in my den.

The boxes make them look huge. Here is a pic that gives you a better idea of their true size.

A nice perk was this coffee table book on Quad.

I just got home with my new toys. They are Quad 2905 electrostatic speakers. Life is good.

Do any of you use sites like Vudu or MoviesAnywhere to store your digital copies of movies? Don't know why I didn't know about this before. My son was over and showed me his MoviesAnywhere account with all his movies. Then I learned you can link a MoviesAnywhere account with a Vudu account. This...

Nice accent wall. Time intensive. Kudos.

You never cease to impress. You sir have mad skills. You make me look like a rookie. Not an easy thing to do.

All done. Makes a nice little system.

Yes, the volume control is a stepped ladder attenuator. It was something I had laying around and tried. I have ordered a 50K Alps blue velvet pot to use in its place. The mechanical switching in this cheap ladder is too noisey for my liking.

My latest build is based on a Nelson Pass design found on the DIYAudio forums. Even though it doesn't look like it, this is a tube preamplifier. What looks like a glass IC is actually a Korg Nutube 6P1 Dual Triode. I purchased the PCB and NuTube from DIYAudioStore. The chassis is from China...

Great way to listen to high end audio without the expense.
