Hi all, new member here~

hey all, i am back. didn't really go on my computer much these few weeks because i was either busy with my kid or was playing wii and ps3 with my wife.
well, anyways. i went try out some systems.

i tried out mctinosh MC2105 with C2300 with a mcintosh sacd player. the speakers were some Vienna Acoustics? it's gotta be something fancy since it's paired with mcintosh gear. the guy didn't tell me the model, but i didn't care about it because i wasn't impressed with the sound at all. i just told him i can hear quite a lot of treble distortion. the bass was very powerful and sounded great though. the salesman noticed it too AFTER i told him. i did expected a little more from a 20k+ setup. next, went to try out a system with everything by NAIM paired with some Linn or sonur faber speakers.this setup sounded worse. everything sounded flat. didn't feel any dynamics or whatsoever. the sales person was very friendly and he really took the time to explain things to me. i am just the kinda guy who trusts my own ear. so i left the store and i told him i will come back and try out more things next week. i really want to try out the b&w 802s, but they are over my budget. again, it was a great experience, but also a little dissapointing because i didn't really find anything i like. iwas in hong kong earlier this year and i listened to a pair of Triad gold mininoitors with gold sub with external amp hooked up to some ADA . a power conditioner by Equi-tech was used.i really thought the setup sounded very clean and crisp. i am definetly going to pick up the gold minimonitors and the gold sub. most likely i will pick up the power conditioner as well.

so at least i got the speakers part done.

now i just gotta find the right amp
