Description

I don't think I've ever had so much fun putting a system together. There is a great synergy between the components, and the sound is beguiling. There is a sense of immediacy to the music that is truly captivating. Now I see what the SET/single driver fuss is all about!

I can't tell you how gratifying it is to listen on an almost entirely DIY system. Happy listening, everyone.

I can't explain it, but some systems really sound good when placed in a clean, well designed and uncluttered room.

Your did a good job with the interior design and system layout. Your system is nicely integrated with your room.

Congrats on your achievement.

....must be a loft, the exposed brick and metal stairs are a dead giveaway.

How does the sub integrate with the Madisounds?
