Definitely an awesome system...equipment, room and evolution!
Not to put you in a SPOT or back you in a corner...but can you say that this EXTREME SETUP to be the BEST sounding HI-FI system to YOUR ears?
As a bonus the availability of multi-"flavor" analog (6 arm/cartridge)front end which can act as the "personal tone control" to suite most listeners/music genre.

Kailangan ba naka Coat & Tie Jadis?

Thanks for the honest reply, only a few will have a chance to listen to this well planned super system...Only a few can actually answer with your authority/experience...Bravo JADIS
