Looks Great!!!

Welcome to the site. I love the system. Tell me, how do like the Cayin CD player? I have been considering one of these for quite some time.
Another ? Why 4 of the mono blocks? Are you bi-amping each speaker?
Once again the whole package looks great.:rocker:

Yes the spark sounds very good (came through Ornec site, and had to wait quite a while whilst being built in China) I noticed in the annual visits forum, there was a pic of one in some manufactures site, but I dont know what place the pic was taken at, but if a manufactures is using it as a ref source, then it must be that good. I am bi amping, as the Quest has an active crossover and allows for this. I could have used two amps as the monoblocks also have two speaker outputs, but then I would end up with 2 redundant amps.

1- Is the system blocking a door? 2- How do you manage the acoustics work being so close to the side walls? 3- Gorgeous setup!
