tubularbells Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Nothing to add but WOW! .....And I thought my change in directions were radical. 1
Kaynin Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Wowsers. I've followed your system thread as you've lovingly put this all together - GLWTS. So much of the hard work has already been done for the future purchaser... Edited June 11, 2017 by Kaynin 4

caminperth Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Wowsers! Good luck with the sale - looking forward to seeing the next step! 1
Bonecrusher Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Would it not be easier to sell the house with the sound system. Followed your system development for so long I thought you had a endgame with the huge bespokes. 1

ZOOTYtooty Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 If I was getting into this hobby, would put this on my house mortgage, this is is step up to the big leagues for the most discerning buyer.. GLWTS, I'm sure it will be accompanied with severe seller remorse. 2
Darren69 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) @Capone it will be soon, the way this year is going. @caminperth I like to chuck it out to the fates and see what happens. If it doesn't shift, maybe some 803D3's but I am really smitten by high end Meridian at the moment. It is good and I mean, really good. It somehow manages to be your Mums best cooking served up at The Blue Duck restaurant. Familiar but still top end. @Bonecrusher the monitors are amazing but different to the Focals. I prefer the Beryllium tweeter of the Focals but they don't immerse you in sound like the big monitors DÁppolito design do. As usual, a matter of taste and I like both versions. My biggest problem is the size of my room and yes, what you suggest might be easier, looking for a bigger listening room but no one likes moving Brother. @ZOOTYtooty I already look back at piccies of what I had up to this stage and want the gear back, haha!! Very tragic. I can understand how one of my good friends never sells anything. Edited June 11, 2017 by Darren69 2
koputai Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Big move Daz. I'm interested as to which way you're thinking of going with DSP's. A stereo pair? A processor as well? Trifield? Any subs? Cheers, Jason.

I guess you can start with a stereo pair driven straight from your M CD player (and could probably be satisfied forever, or), then go from there when you get the urge to play. 30 minutes ago, Darren69 said: but you know the old saying about making plans... You only make them for Nigel? Cheers, Jason. 2

A processor as well? Trifield? Any subs? Cheers, Jason. Sorry, just realised I only half answered you with the speaker link. Processor? No, feed straight from the 808.3i which will be the pre as well. Trifield? I don't know what that is. Subs- will be suck it and see. I love my subs and was going to keep them but have include as part of the deal and to be honest, the system goes better with them. I know I should be only worrying about the bucks but I feel the next owner (if one comes up) should get the holistic system for his/her enjoyment. It is an exceptional rig, if I don't say so myself. I haven't done many things right in life but I think this has been one of the rare occasions where I have, haha. Eventually.
betty boop Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 good luck with the sale darren, huge bargain for someone ! 1
