Thanks.  They're the PL200 towers and PL350 center.  I got them used for basically what it would have cost new for the Golds.  In short...about 50% off new price.  Local sale.  Got all the original boxes, manuals, etc.  It was a long journey to getting them but they're are simply breathtaking.  My headphone hobby has been on hold until recently because I've been building out that theater (which is a bit more pricey than headphones lol).  The PL350C is a tank (see photo below) I've listened to the Gold 300 towers before they're really nice as well.  
 
 

 

 
Seaton SubM...love it! I have an HP. Tried a lot of subs before the SubM. It's expensive, but not much can compete with the Seatons and JTRs, unless of course you DIY.
 
Great setup!

More like nothing compares except for a JTR or DIY.  Most people have no idea what good bass feels like.  Notice I said feel (not heard).

Seamaster, 
 
Is the McIntosh one of their latest digital DAC/preamps?  
 
Curious how well you like it.  I am looking at one, or its 'sister' Wadia equivalent
 
Thanks!

After a brown taste from my first McIntosh experience with a MA6900 integrated amp years ago, I decided give a Mac second try, because I, somehow ended up with a D150 DAC totally by an accident. 50 hours into this thing so far as 12/10/2016, I would like to say: it was a great accident! The D150 may not be the most detailed DAC ever in the price range, but it definitely makes music flow. The best part, it is tonally correct, to me. It does string instruments beautifully with delicious decay. The headphone output is not junk like the one in MA6900, is is actually pretty good, it drives my Shure SE846 beautifully but have trouble push my HD800 to full potential. I have almost no complaints on DAC performance. If really nick pick on it, the vocal can be a hair more forward that would be more attractive, to me, YMMV. My digital setup is still in progress, I think i will extract more performance out of D150 when everything is done.
 
I was looking at Wadia DAC too, some review mentioned they are being too dry. D-150 sounds more analog than digital in my setup.
