Description

I've always wanted a high-end 2 channel system. This is my attempt at putting one together (on a budget - can you really have a high end budget system?). It has taken the last 15 years to get it to this point. I have been constantly swapping out components, cables and speakers. I think I have it the way that I like it now. The Krell KAV line is older, but man it still sounds great. Krell is built like a tank.

Obviously, the speakers are B&W.  Specifically, B&W Nautilus 804S.  I never tire of listening to them.  The newest addition to the system is the sub. I bought the new SVS SB-3000.  This sub is very musical.  And it can dig deep!  Listening to classical music, you can often hear the growl of the bow as it pulls across an upright bass.  Love it!  You may be wondering why go so big?  Ultimately, I do plan to move this system to another room and build a media room around it.   And finally, everything is cabled with Transparent Super cable. The interconnects are balanced. Let me know your thoughts. I especially would love to hear from anyone else with a similar set-up (Krell/B&W).
