So far in the process of my audio research / wanderings in the quest for the most appealing audio music only system, on paper and over the Internet anyway, I came up with the following audio combination systems. However, the only exception is I didn't include audio cables at this time. I am very interested in your ideas, comments and suggestions about these proposed systems.
Here goes...
Door #1:
Source: Esoteric X-03SE CD/SACD player
Preamp: Audio Research Reference 2 Mk II
Amplifiers: Pass Labs X600.5 - Two Mono-block amps.
Speakers: MBL 101E Radialstrahler Omnidirectional References
Price estimate for all used gear: $40,000.
Door #2:
Source: Cary Audio CD 306 SACD
Preamp: Cary Audio SLP05
Amplifiers: Butler Audio Monad A100 - Two Mono-block amps
Speakers: ML CLX with Descent or Summits
Price est. for all used gear (except ML's - new): $30,000.
Door #3:
Source: McIntosh MCD201
Amplifiers: McIntosh MC275 - Two Mono-block amps
Speakers: ML CLX with Descent or Summits
Price est. for all used gear (except ML's - new): $20,000.
Naturally, I will be auditioning all of the above before I make any decisions but what do you think?
Now for the photo's of all of the above...
