As some of you have read through some of the posting I have done of late that I have been in the process of putting together a 2ch setup for the living room. For those that may not have read those threads, here is the list of components used:

Amp Integra ADM 2.1
EQ Teac MKII 10
Transport Squeezebox 3 (Classic)
Speakers Fluance SX (Fronts)
Cables AR PR 131 interconnects
(From SB to EQ)
Velocity 45370 solid core (From EQ to Amp)
Velocity 29176 12AWG (Speakers)

All I can say is my mouth fell open when I first fired it up the sound was very very clean and detailed, I used a 320Kps classical file. What caught me off guard was the depth of the bass, tight and precise. I then play one of the new Steely Dan albums I just got in and even more wow. It could be that I have been listening to bookshelf speakers for the last decade, but I have subs with those setups. The sound is clear, detail and warm all in one. Some have said these Fluance speakers will need time to break in, but if they get any better I don't know what else could be said. I'm sure the EQ has made a difference with this initial response. These are no concert level playing speakers, but for a listening room, or background music they will have people turning heads and asking questions about them. Here is a pic
