Description

There are a lot of Cherry components here--cherry finish on the Titus 202 and Sub Espace, cherry StudioTech stands, cherry Bello rack.

Plus, it sounds pretty cherry too, whatever that means.

Planned upgrades:

-biwire Titus 202's if I can find more Silver Ghost cable

-biamp using a C-J MV-55

You mention the VTL IT-85 amp. I had the pleasure of listening to this with a Nottingham Spacedeck, Benz Ruby, and once with a pair of Dynaudio 52SE and just yesterday driving a pair of Verity Audio Tamino X2. That is a really sweet little amp. Had no problem driving either speaker to high volume with tight deep bass. Was extremely musical and enjoyable with both speakers. A real pleasure.
