The sound of jazz

MBL mbl 1621 Transport   Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter   Concert Fidelity CF-080 Tube preamp   Pass Labs XA-60.5 monoblocks   Lawrence Audio Cello Speaker   Martin Logan Depth I Subwoofer   Stealth Cables Varidig Sextet Digital reference   Stealth Cables Indra Interconnect   Stealth Cables Metacarbon   Stealth Cables Dream Petite & Ultimate Ribbon   Running Springs Audio Dmitri Tweak   Harmonix Studio Masters The sound of jazz This rig is the cumulation of building my system for over thirty-five years. The Threshold SA-1 monoblocks are true classics and still sound great powering the bass panels of the MG-20s!I love this system's combination of details,natural timbres,and soundstage. I sit about 14 feet off of the MG-20s so I get a great blossoming of the soundstage in a very real and natural way.I named the system "The sound of Jazz" because I'm a serious jazz buff who listens to swing,be-bop,hard-bop and soul-organ styles about 99.99% of the time! Most of my collection was recorded in analog so it has that organic/musical sonic sense to it which sounds great when played on this system. It's a wonderful treat on a daily basis tohear the great players in the history of Jazz play in my house.Nothing is like live music but this system gives a great illusion of the real thing.I can honestly say that my goal was to enjoy the beauty of music I love and this system allows me to do that, without feeling that I'm missing out on some important aspect of the experience of sound that we humans call music.

My MG-20's are six feet off the back wall, which is the short wall of 30 feet and I sit about 12 feet from the speakers with the back wall another 35 feet away. The ceiling is 30 feet high with many posts and beems running through out the total house. It's the best acoustic environment my rig has ever been in.
