In 2015 I pieced together my first system, then bought a house so I could actually use it after renting rooms for a number of years. I'm currently using 5.1 channels Denon SW700 receiver with the Pioneer Andrew Jones speakers and a Polk 10" sub. It's always sounded great to me however I afew years later inherited and cleaned up a late 1970's Technics system from my grandfather along with his record collection which introduced me to another realm of listening experience and pleasure.
I am now in progress of putting togehter my own 2.1 system, starting with the XLS Encores I am currently building. The dive is deep and i'm still treading water!
