    Being a Naim-Head flat-earther myself I do not care much about imaging: I subscribe to Naim Audio motto that "I do not care where musicians sit on the stage, I only care why they got there!" :)

    @TooCooL4 has one of the best Hi-End setups posted at this forum, wish I could crash one of his listening sessions!!!

    @Tadasas99 - your setup is very similar to what I had in my flat in Kiev, before grabbing one suitcase, one kid, and one Boss and loading our-selves onto a flight to Chicago: my Radiotehnica S70 filled the room (about 3-4 times the size of @TooCooL4) onto the windows-rattling levels. Definitely Hi-Fi, especially since the term got expropriated by the Industry for just about anything, including compos and mini-stereos :cool: As @TooCooL4 mentioned, with some tweaks it can be pushed into Hi-End territory, but my 5 cents of wisdom - if you are happy with what you have, STOP the upgraditis and get yourself More Music!!! ;)

    @Jorge thats egzacly what i did. You from kiev, so maybe you know 10mac-1m, started from these, tried few speakers, but stayed to soviet radiotechnika, in the end i had s90, s50, and 10mas on three amprifiers, two equalizers, 10mas was for mids and higths.
    But for me base was too punchy, so diched 10mas, and get second pair s90 they are 4ohms, so in series i get 8 and much softer, deeper base.
    In this stage im happy with my system sound

    Thanks for the kind words Jorge, I would not call my setup High-End at best I would call it Mid-End. I have listened to some really High-End systems, some of which belong to friends.
    My system is good, but the Ultra-High-End are another a league away.
    Saying that I do like my system and enjoy it immensely. :thumbsup2:

    Neat stuff Simon, thanks for sharing. That sound processor is interesting, is that for playing Dolby on VHS tapes?

    Its part of the LBT stack.
    The CD player ONLY has optic out, and the Amp as NO optic in!
    The SDP does have 3 optic in and 1 out though.

    my PC, CDTV, VHS, LD, DVD all go through that LBT stack!

    I'm wondering how Disturbed would sound on the system, it looks like it's cued up.

    No Disturbe LP, but, Cambridge Audio AXA35 and MODI3 provide a nice performance for me when it comes to digital audio.

    Well I haven't got any Kenwood kitchen equipment but here's my stack system which runs through a 5.1 surround set. The turntable is a Kenwood KD66F, the DAB tuner is a Pure DRX 701ES, the CD palyer is a Kenwood DP 3080 MkII, the receiver is a Kenwood KR-V6050, the double cassette deck is a Kenwood KX-W6050 which needs a belt or two in deck B and maybe one in deck A, the DVD/VHS recorder is a Panasonic DMR EZ48V which needs a new video head.

    This lot runs through two Kef and two Kenwood floor speakers and a Kenwood centre speaker. A lamp stands on one Kenwood speaker and the HP 32s monitor stands on the centre speaker.
