About a year ago, I gave up my middling surround system to return to sweet, 2-channel goodness for my little NYC living room. Best decision I've ever made; I'm enjoying my music more than I have in years.

I'm a sucker for details, but I still want musical engagement... and I think I've got exactly that so far, without spending tons of dough. The soundstage isn't as deep or defined as I'd like, but I think that's a function of the space (and the big plasma TV between the speakers).

My next purchase will most likely be the PS Audio Digital Link III DAC, to take redbook playback to the next level. Then I'll start working on converting to to a computer-based setup.

I haven't seen many systems with these components, so I do feel a little like I'm going out on a limb. I'd love to hear anyone's feedback!
