Description

This system evolved over years out of a desire to achieve a balance between performance and simplicity. Setup is in a condo living room where space is a premium. The electronics are stowed using a customized rack-closet in a bedroom adjacent the living room.

System is voiced to achieve a sonic rendition as natural and believable as possible, subject to the frequency range the C1 is able to play.

Good question - the rug over the marble stone floor does help - better clarity, image, etc. For casual listen what I normally do is just put a couple of pillows on top of the center table. Unfortunately non of the remotes work from the living room. Not a biggie for me as once I have set volume and CD, I am content to finish entire disc.

Very nice indeed. Have you ever tried an area rug over that floor? Does the remote work with the electronics in another room? Love the clean look without the electronics showing!

Sounds like a great system! And I always admire the goal of simplicity. Love to see pics....
