I don't buy into the idea that 2 channel is far superior than av when it comes to playing music.(if well designed).

Also got Boston acoustic speakers, which i can say is not very common here. Also got a blu-ray player for my music.

Currently having hand made speakers built in oak finish & also HIFI rack in oak delivered tomorrow. So am looking at excellent music all in oak. Anyone know of any brilliant amps finished in oak? I know Nord amps have different veneer finishes. Would be nice if other suggestions are made.

Fair to say I like looks & sound. *biggrin* . But does it really say a lot about me changing my set up?

You are not alone I have Bostons too and can't believe how under appreciated they are. That said if they were flavour of the month I wouldn't have got them for the buttons I actually paid 2nd hand..

Mine says that I spend far more money on Hifi equipment than I should (what you see in my sig is the only expensive stuff that I own).

It also says that I'm more concerned about the performance than I am about how it looks.
Your system, combined with your comment about performance over looks tells me that you have fallen, hook, line and sinker for the AVI marketing spiel.

It takes just as much effort and costs just as much to design something thats ugly as it does to design something that's beautiful.

I am not sure what my system says about me I guess that is for others to decide. *unknw*

But I would like it to say .

Here is a man who really loves music.

He has sacrificed so much to buy the best equipment he can afford to hear music as close to the real thing as possible.

But in reality it probably says the bloke is a nutcase for spending so much on a bloody stereo .*biggrin*

I think my system says I like the most natural sound I can achieve at a low price I can afford. It also says I've become tired of the whole 'audiophile' thing and that my focus is back where it should be, on the music.

I have two systems: One uses a Valve Amp and Sonus Fabers, the other a Devialet and Focals.

The two probably couldn't sound much more different, yet I love them both for what each of them does.

What does that say about me? *shok*
