Relaxation Central
My system resides in our 14x17 living room. It's where I go to relax. Current rotation is jazz and blues like Keb' Mo', Tony Furtado, Martin Sexton, Kurt Elling, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, Joshua Redman, Yellowjackets, and others.

I enjoy open airy sound with wide soundstage and as much detail as I can get. Unfortunately, I can't have all of these, but this equipment fits the bill pretty well. My goal has always been not to go broke doing this, so any equipment change from here has got to be a cost neutral proposition.
