2) JBL M2 Reference Monitors

Awesome! I don't plan on changing my speakers anytime soon, but there's been a few folks who have moved on from what I have to the M2's. Have you posted your impressions of the M2's somewhere?

2019 was a major system overhaul for me where I upgraded most of the components. More importantly I am very happy with the outcome and discovering more music than anytime before.

Components added : ATC SCM 40 V2 speakers, Gryphon Callisto amp , Schiit Gungnir multibit dac and some XLR , speaker cables and basic room treatment.

One of the best improvements I have seen in any Audio setup, Sachin. Congrats and hope this year you reach the next level

Sorry Brother,

I thought all would know it was rumor,
wanted to start with little bit of humor.

Dream ! Dont we of a good quality system ?
Some do get them but some alas miss them

Well that is life and hope to get it someday.
and as for 'Hidden humor' it was a click away.


Wishing everyone Happy New year again
and may all your dreams come true

Regards

Hi
2019 was a big step for me in terms of stereo.

Turned to headphones.
In 2018 I bought schiit bifrist dac to support marantz 8004 and wharfedale 9.5

Since the new baby in the house, I have decided to keep the HT off for a while.
So the first step is triple driver with iPhone.

Bought ATH M50X in Jan and it is fantastic with meridian explorer dac

In March I bought Schiit asgard to power HD598SE and it is a remarkable experience.

In December took the plunge and bought the Audeze LCD2 classic.

Understanding the nuances now

10. 4 Boston Soundware XS (used x4 for atmos)

I also have boston soundWare xs as atmos ceiling and klipsch r 14s as surrounds.

Well..

your humour was a click away
Mine was too..

But my humour was sticked away
While yours seems to tick..

I wonder what the powers that be think
Of a community of audiophiles with no fun instinct..

Maybe we confirm to the norm
Or move back into the dorm !

How is the tweeter less setup? Do you have any posting on your ICE buildup? Hard to see a car audio fan these days.
