This system was assembled during the course of my graduate studies, funded through a combination of savings, scholarships, and TA work. The guiding philosophy, so to speak, was to assemble a well-balanced system with a natural, organic sound that is highly musical. In this respect, I think I have succeeded admirably.

The Naim/Harbeth combination is wonderfully synergistic, while the Tube Box II provides just the right amount of warmth. The overall presentation is non-fatiguing, yet emotionally involving - accurate timbers and crystal clear vocals are its primary strengths. For a small room, near field listening environment, I'm not sure if it gets much better.

At times, this was an extremely involving project, but it was rewarding nonetheless. The system will be complete once I locate speaker stands of appropriate height, relocating the system to a more spacious environment (current accommodations are temporary). I'm still quite new to this, so I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Thanks for looking!
