Hello everyone! This is my first post but I've been lurking and learning here for some time. In this small attic room which I just finished (I lost my larger room to a baby, no better reason!) I've managed to piece together my finest sounding system.
The heart of the system is a very special custom Blue Circle integrated amp, 100 watts of SS power based on their NSP amplifier. Phono pre is also Blue Circle. 90% of my listening is vinyl, and for that purpose I have a Merrill Williams 101.2 with Triplanar and Ortofon Cadenza Bronze. The restored TD-124 with Schick arm is awaiting the arrival of a Tron Convergence phono pre. The last month has seen a showdown between speakers: Trenner and Friedl Ella's vs Harbeth 30.1's. In the end, the Ella's are clearly the winner. In all fairness the Ella's retailed for over double the 30.1's, and in that light they did quite well. In fact, I could clearly imagine some people preferring the 30.1's.
Now the big question: what do I do for room treatment? These A frame attic rooms are tough, though all things considered the sound is rather great (in my humble opinion of course). Maybe something simple? A couple of Stillpoint Apertures maybe? What do you think?
Thanks!
