Description

Started with hifi when I was a teen, delivering newspapers to be able to a Technics turntable and a CD player (also Technics - an SL-P8).

Started selling hifi in NYC late teens/early 20s and was hooked. Owned Counterpoint, CJ, Snell, Quad, Krell, McCormick, StraightWire, and more all over some point in time. Also built my own speakers then too. After I moved on selling equipment, had a Celestion 6000 system at some point as well.

Got out of it for a while and only recently started back. Bought some KEF LS50s and started from there. Growing my system a bit at a time right now. System is in our main living space as we live in a somewhat open loft.

Thank You for sharing the story of your journey. Your system is simple for now and will grow over time, knowing what you have experienced before. But I like your space much better. It is ready for future. I hope you enjoy great music in that space!
