Amplifier porn

A whole bunch of years ago, a dealer in NH I frequented had a Manufacturer night with Michael Green of Roomtunes.  They had Rowland mono amps and a pair of Aerial Acoustics speakers.

I used to listen to them, and think that either the amps or speakers or both were not worth the price.  They sounded a bit dull and lifeless.

During that night, Michael did his thing, with his things....he said at one point he was about 50% done, but they started having folks come in and listen

Night...and....fucking....day.  Dynamics, space, precise imaging, and more all of a sudden was THERE.

As nice as that room was, his "50%" showed off what the system could do.  And from that day forward, I never doubted Rowland or Aerial....

Pro-Ject RPM 9 -> McIntosh c2300 -> MC275 -> Augarten Ball Speaker by Mo Sound in Vienna

Plus a Niagara 1200 and Svs 1000 sub

Cart is Quintet Black S

All kimber hero interconnects

Balls are very transparent mids, struggle with low freq and the highest stuff. Using C2300 for powered sub on output 1

Wife picked out speakers for “her Bill Evans music” from google image search. They are great. She also added the shiny stuff
