Hi TomDac,
Martin Logan started early in my system and has flourished over time into a dedicated, conditioned and treated sound room, starting with home run A/C outlets. As far as equipment: PS Audio Balance A/C Conditioners, Sonic Frontiers Power2 Amp, Line2 Preamp, SFD-2 MXII DAC, Sony XA5400ES Transport. All of which have been customized and/ or upgraded beyond there options. Finally, speaker and balanced interconnects are Transparent Audio (Ultra Level) and Blue Circle for all A/C power cables.
Alone, the CLSIIz’s are outstanding (especially after bracing) and upgrading wiring to Kimber (Point to Point) with speed and slam, but to help on the lower end (without adding mud), they have been complement with 2 very quick JL Audio Fathom 10” subs. (Crossed at 35hz)
As far as musical taste... I will listen to almost everything... once, especially if it has been recorded well or with some type of quantity or discipline such as HDCD or SACD.
As for the "journey"... In the quest for "my" musical nirvana, IMO once the level of realistic payback is achieved, the questions and troubleshooting fall away and the focus becomes about; how the recording was done, type and location of microphones, artistic content or sound engineering techniques, and instruments used, etc. etc. If done well... nothing to do but travel. (into the sound)
Tried to keep it short... but it's the best I could do. After all, you asked
Thanks for your warm welcome.
