I finally found the time to sit down for an hour or so and send a few e-mails and listen to a little music. We recently moved into our new house and with work, moving, and a 6 year old, it has been a crazy month. I finally have that dedicated room (18.5 ft X 14.5 ft) to listen to some tunes and watch a few good flciks. I have always wanted a dedicated room and we were fortunate enough to find a place that had such a room.
On that note, it will not take long to upgrade the system. I am quite content with the HT component (will proably add a SVS sub) of my system, but now I have the space to really get into some quality 2 CH music. As you have heard me say in the past, I long for some better speakers. Alas, I have outgrown the system I have, but will retain it for HT. It has been a great year and I could not have accomplished my audio experiments without the assistance of many of you. Thanks a lot.
On the list is a pair of Proac Response D38's (http://www.proac-loudspeakers.com/d38.php) and these will grace the new room in 2006. The question will then arise, what gear to use with those beautiful speakers (cables, cpd, amp, pre-amp). This will take some time. As many of you know, living in Yellowknife is difficult to evaluate equipment due to the lack of audio stores (2 only). I do have some business travel scheduled for January 2006 as I will be in Vancouver for 1 1/2 weeks and hope to hook up with some of the Polk people in the Van area. Should be a good trip.
I hope all of you folks have a wonderful safe and happy holiday season. I know that I will be requesting additional tips & feedback as I enter into Stage Two of my audio venture. Thanks for a great year, have a good one, and all the best to everyone in 2006.
