I have purchased a Bryston 3BSST2 amp, BP26 MPS-2 preamp and power supply, Cambridge Audio CXN music streamer, and Magnepan .7 speakers. I bought the maggies from Audio perfection in Richfild Minnesota. Mark the store owner has always liked the Bryston magnepan combination, and I have heard many great things about both online. I purchased the Bryston components used on Audiogon and got the CNX new online from a dealer. All is connected with Audioquests cables from Best Buy Magnolia, Balaced Red River connects. All together cost about $6500. Just a simple intro system.
Right now I am listening to Bruce Cockburn's Speechless album on Spotify through the CXN. WOW I am really liking what I hear, these components realy work great together. Openness and clarity are stunning, close my eys and listen to the music fill the room, gives me goose bumps, im starting to get what this hobby is all about. The pure joy of listening is just amazing. Also, Bruce is an amazing folk guitar palyer.
Glad to be a part of this truly enjoyable hobby,
Greg
