Well for the most part this is a Canadian system. The Anthem preamp and 2 channel Amp are made in Ontario by Sonic Frontier and the Energy Veritas 2.3s, 2.0 and my Energy ES-10 sub are also made in Ontario via API. The Adcom is American and the Rega and Cambridge is UK.
This is my second HT system and is a significant jump from my first wich was based on a Onkyo 5.1 receiver and Sony DVD player. It comprised of small bookshelf Energy Pro 4.5 for mains and Pro .5 for surrounds and the ES-10 sub. The only I kept from my original Dolby Pro Logic system is the Sub and the rears. I find my sub to be adequate for the most part in my room, it's a gutsy little 10 incher that works very well for now. By no means is this a "high-end" system compared to some, but for my budget it's pretty much as high end as I can go at this time. I was originally going in for a receiver but got "convinced" into seperates. I don't regret it but it was only because at that time I had an unexpected inflow of disposable income so I took advantage of it.
I have some room acoustic issues that I am trying to solve at this time because since I moved my system from a tiny area to a larger and more appropriately sized area in my basement, I got suddenly robbed of all my bass from my Mains. It is the strangest thing, when I am standing 4 feet away from the veritas I get amazing bass, when I sit in my listening position about 12 feet away I can't hear any bass, it all goes away. I was extremely dissapointed and quite depressed about the whole thing, I put in 15K of gear and it sounds like those 500 dollars HT in a box from wal mart !!.. well maybe not to that extreme, but it's not that far off.
So I'm working on some Bass Traps as a start.. it's a work in progress but I have to figure something out because my current enjoyment of my system is next to nothing.. and that's a shame given this equipment..
So I guess that would be my "upgrade" before anything else, fix the room. Nothing else would sound better anyways since the room would affect any other speakers to..
I like it! I have a pair of 2.3's and I had a adcom 7400 that I used to biamp the fronts. I've changed out the amp twice now (moved to a parasound 2205) but the speakers are the same. I really like them!
