Hi, I've been at this for almost 50 years - started collecting brochures and catalogs when I was 12. I listen in stereo, but I've always loved surround. My basic stereo config is Oppo, Marantz, Parasound, and Martin Logan. I have also the capability to go to 7.2.4. My system tends to evolve slowly over time by adding/replacing components, cables, treatments, etc. Looking forward to knowledgeable discussions! (The image below is from my previous setup before I moved.)
I should also mention that I've run a site devoted to classical music for more than 20 years now.
