New member introduction
« on: 10 May 2021, 03:49 pm »
Hi, just introducing myself. I'm new to GAS. Been into audio since my college days. My roommate had a nice Marantz system with JBL speakers and I've been hooked ever since. My current system is a Classe 15 amp, Classe 6 pre-amp, Innuos Zenith Mk3 streamer, Playback Design Merlot DAC, Skywire Audio cables, and KEF 107 speakers with REL Subs. Also have a Theta CD transport and a Meridian digital processor which don't get any use these days since I have started streaming Qobuz and Tidal. Just wanted to say hi to the group. I look forward to joining a local audiophile community. I'm in Crestwood.

Welcome to Gateway Audio Society!

Those KEF 107s are quite a nice speaker!  Enjoy them!

Thank you. Vinyldavid, it's nice to find someone who is familiar with the KEF 107's. I've owned them since new and still find them remarkable. There are a LOT of nice speakers out there, but for some reason, the KEF's still sound "right" to me. I prefer them over the newer model KEF's and they are built like tanks. 30 years and I haven't touched them. I look forward to learning from others on this circle and joining the group.

KEF Ref series always sound very natural to me, especially compared to the competition.

I had some 105/2s, and was VERY unhappy about selling them, but. my main rig is better (and the cost has been very high) and there’s too many other speakers already 🤣.

If I didn’t have my big Dyns, the KEFs would have replaced my Bozak Concert Grands.

Welcome to GAS!

Nice system you've got. I have an Innuos ZENith Mk II. Nice to meet a fellow Zen streamer. Those guys offer great customer service for a great product.
