I began my journey when I bought a Hafler 220 back in the 80's. After a few "financially lean" years I bought some Polk rt11's which stoked the fire, but shortly thereafter family took precedence. I downsized, and then when the career took off, I used music as a refuge from the stress. Brands like Cambridge and Canton gave way to Bryston (over time), which as an engineer impressed with build quality. I still have a Marsh 200 amplifier as my "change of Pace" from my workhorse Bryston 2.5B Cubed. Musical tastes run the gamut from rock to pop to classical, and lately I have been enjoying Leon Bridges, among numerous others. Not sure how long to make this intro, so I will stop before I risk boring this community to death.
