We know your headphones... but what about your speakers?

Yahama TSS-1B 5.1 (amp sucks for headphones, filters out the bass)

Living room: NAD C521BEE feeding into an NAD C352, output to a pair of Klipsch RF-82s.

Bedroom: E-MU 1212m/SCD-CE595 feeding into a Denon PMA-2000IVR, output to a pair of Klipsch RB-25s

The living room rig was moved from my bedroom because of a lack of space so I have no future plans for it as I only get to listen to it a couple of times a month. For my bedroom rig, I plan on replacing my source with either a Denon 2900 or a 3910 with eventual plans for the SACDmods package, and either a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1s or Paradigm Studio Reference 40 v.3s. I was really interested in ML 'stats late last year, the Claritys in particular, but after assessing my room I really don't have enough space to make the purchase worthwhile.

The only speakers I have are my stereo speakers and the monitors in my sig. I do not listen to music on either of them.

Mine are some DIY ones also.

Dallas II rear loaded horn, using fostex fe206e. They're big, ugly, and weigh about 100lb.

A photo of one getting a test play before being glued shut, with my parents' dalis about two foot behind it for a good size comparison


Powered by firstwatt f2 clone


They still need to be finished and painted, but they're too heavy to easily move so i tend to just work on them in my listening room (naughty naught i know!), but I dont want to have wood and paint dust getting all over my new amp. And its a pain in the ass to move the amp while its still in several pieces like that. and i'm too broke to finish the amp

so it'll be a while.

my folks use Original A8s (CDP), onkyo amp and dali speakers. I use modded lite dacah, firstwatt, dallas

Arcam CD33T -> Plinius 8100 -> Meadowlark Audio Shearwater Hot Rods, strung together with Analysis Plus cabling.

I haven't really changed a thing since 2003 (and that was to switch in the Arcam in place of a tubed CD player that I burned out - long story), although I did manage to listen to a pair of Vienna Acoustics' Strauss about two months ago. Beautifully crafted, but way too much speaker for my small living room...

It's really a shame that Meadowlark went out of business too...
