Fish Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Nice....curious what/when was before this, the first good set maybe ? Also do you miss any set or location of system ? Last, for now....Size of room, just guessing, 16 or so X 20 something ? The reason I ask is I've had and heard some same systems in different rooms and houses. The difference is quite amazing.

My latest is the best, as it is 20 years in the making of swapping pieces and looking for the right synergy. Each system had its merits and faults. I remember each one and loved going down memory lane looking at each. I will always have a soft spot for Martin Logan electrostats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Ampzilla 2000 monoblock amps are something to behold. The design, workmanship, and the output. I had never heard of them before you mentioned above in the evolution of your systems. Very special indeed. https://www.sst.audio/new-products/ampzilla-2000-second-edition-single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
