Hello from the Big Apple!
« on: 30 Apr 2025, 05:59 pm »
Good morning everyone, I am a relatively new audiophila just moving back to NYC.  I have been into sound and sound system for a while but this obsession has started to kick in again about 1 month ago. Current system:

Denon X4100 (has some kick ass DAC chip before the factory got burned down in Japan) - all preout
Bryson 9B ST to run home theater SR SL and Center - B&W 606 and HTM6
Bryston 4B ST running L/R (running high bias at 18-20mV)
Currently: B&w 705 S2 Signature
Apple TV with HDMI splitter to a Optoma P2 short throw + 120 inch Fresnel Floor projector screen
12x15 room in a typical New York apt, high pile carpet, fabric couch.

About to get:
Odyssey Kismet Monos
Odyssey Kismet Reference

Wish list:
B&W 805 D3
Vivid B1
TAD


Blackmore

Hey!

    Welcome to Audio Circle! Well, someone from NYC? I'm in Queens here :wink: Your room is about the same size as mine.... I actually considered myself lucky, I know a few people with smaller room. My system is tubed 2 channel music only system.

   Interesting speaker wish list... I think I've heard a smaller TAD and larger Vivid at the show years ago... love how some of those Vivid's speakers look, they look like something out of Dr. Seuss'. Just curious of why are you planning to switch from Bryston to Odyssey. If you are about to get Odyssey amp perhaps you might consider their speaker also?

    Anyway, keep us posted. Again good to see another in NYC :thumb:

Welcome from a fellow New Yorker.  I grew up in Brooklyn and left for the midwest to go to college and never looked back.  I live in the Twin Cities now which sort of has an east coast flare for a midwestern city.  I grew up in the Canarsie and Flatlands area of Brooklyn.
