Some old Tandberg speakers. They work well in that space. Trey upgraded all internals.

Rosso Fiorentino Volterra and Norma IPA-140.
I have the Norma, so maybe one of these days I’ll snag a pair of Volterra’s. They’re my end game speaker.
Congrats!!!
Yep, the Volterra's are superb ear candy. Willy is getting it done! Congrats.
I want them so bad.. I actually talked to Skip sometime ago about them, just can't let myself do it.. -

Nice, I missed that thread it seems. So did you end up sending the Daytons back I assume?

There's a set of volterra on ebay for 6500, seems like a decent enough price? I don't follow that model

I got mine about 2 years ago. They have fit in nicely. I don’t regret the purchase. I was able to order mine so I got to choose the color/finish.

I’ve felt the same way for a long time. It’s pretty surreal still. I got an excellent deal on this gear locally from a guy looking to downsize. It feels a bit like winning the lottery to an extent. I was really planning to use these funds on a new turntable, but this deal was worth getting spouse approval to stretch the budget a little!

Pulled my Phase Linear 4000 II preamp and installed the Krell AVS.
Really love the sound of that processor in my 2-channel set-up. -
Was hearing some crackling in my right channel and during trying to figure out who the culprit was I rotated in my garage sale Harman Kardon HK870 amp. Ran it for a couple hours to warm up so I could give it a proper review. Not bad for $250 but without appropriate speaker terminals that would accept anything but bare lamp cord I relegated it back to the closet of shame until I figure out a new home.
Next up were my backup B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks. These were very early release and had no XLR inputs but I have a pair of Wireworld Silver Eclipse RCA's I threw on them. One thing I noticed is they are more bright than the newer version Sonata's. I think somewhere I read the early ones had no filtering for DC in the signal path. Maybe that is what makes the difference. For now I'm really digging them playing some Camila Cabello while drinking a margarita!Gustard X26 Pro DAC
