my "stuff"

[pixelthis]

Did'nt show my speakers close, most know about them. Will say that the 602s2 is one of the best speakers ever when price is considered.
525$ a pair, 350 for the center, kevlar cones, Nautilus tweeters.
Eight years old, going strong
I use a pair of 305 floorstanders that used to be my mains for surround duty, 400 bucks a pair on closeout. A waste to use these for surrounds, hope the use them for an audio only system soon.HAS plastic fins lining the inside of the cabinet, keeps down standing waves. All I NEED IS A PREAMP, but in the Obamanation times are tight.

HERES THE DRIVERS for my 305's, amazing what B&W did with such basic drivers.

OOPS, heres the pic.

HERES my five hundred buck Lovan rack I bought( as usual) at closeout for half price.
Hope to make it part of an audio only system someday, but right now it mainly is a junk collector. The Sony changer holds most of my "main" CD's. I am about to move the 700 dollar
panny to the main rack next door. Notice my B&W 602s2, still lookin good after 8-9 years.

Heres my PANNY DVD-AUDIO player, probably the best sounding component I have.
Even though all of my music is on the computer, its still worth the trouble to load CD's
into this thing, although the video is good for the times, its not up todays, sadly.

So the next time some smart *** wants to see "my stuff", I will have a link for you.
NOT THE BEST by a long shot, but considering the demands of life, women, children,
and the taxman, its about as good as a workingman could do. COULD HAVE BOUGHT
nicer stuff, but I tend to get something as soon as I can, not too good at saving up for
things.

This is where the vacuum cleaner goes. J/k. I always put off cleaning/dusting behind my equipment once I have it set up because I don't want to move it - might throw off soundstage or something obsessive like that.

Anyhow, I've always been impressed with the 602s I've auditioned. They seem like a very solid choice at the price point and are relatively easy to find and audition. Don't know why I don't have a pair (of 602s) yet.

The thing is, pixie doesnt even know how good his B&Ws could sound.

I used to think my stratos was the sh!t, but I actually listen to music and not measurements and distortion.

The Emotiva, 125 watts RMS @ 8 ohm (0.1% THD), doesn't even measure up to my 20 year old Hafler 9180 which specs in at less than 0.025%, typically 0.005% at 1 kHz or my 15 year old Stratos at <0.04% THD (not audible) as per Klause. Neither of those 2 amps ever sounded as good before the VAC. And pale to the hybrid counterpoint whose who's tubes really mess the sound up.

Pixie talks the talk, but own nothing that fits his own theory.

Heck, even the used Rotel RX-1050 has better specs than the Emotiva
