started many years ago with monitor audio speakers and various electronics, mainly Rotel, went the hole hog with 5 speakers, 2 subwoofers, velodyne sms seperate sacd and cdp, the room was full much to the wife annoyance, it all sounded ok, trouble is my room isnt all that big and it loaded the room too much, so decided to start downsizing.......sold all my monitor audio speakers and got some ML ascents....boy that has given me some headaches, needed to get a proper amp to drive them so along came an aragon 8008BB, the got some mosaics for the rear and thought i was well sorted. decided to change my cdp and sacd player and get a good 1 box solution, along came the 20i, stunning, such and improvement over my old cd player, which was a tri-vista 21 dac and a theta basi II transport.
was using some tag mclaren for a preamp and realised i could do with a top end pre-amp and searched the forums and hifi review and decided a pass labs aleph p would do the trick, promptly found one and thought that was the end of my journey.
i loved the sound but tended to get a bit hard at the top end, especially when playing loud, realised the aragon was nice at low volumes but struggled at louder volumes, along came a pair of KMA-200....WOW, im really hearing what the Ascents can do, so after a bit of a journey i feel fairly settled..........................for now
