Desktop system:
KEF LS50 speakers, NAD D3020 amplifier, Monoprice M1060 headphones, Schiit Modi DAC, Schiit Vali headphone amp, and a Schiit SYS to switch between heapdhones and speakers.
The LS50s are most likely soon going to be swapped out with either B&W 707 S2 or possibly Quad S-2. To be determined.
Living room setup:
Disclaimer: I switch between speakers a lot. Depending on what song I’m listening to, what mood I’m in, or just if I want to listen to something. However, here is what I’ve got set up right now. This will change (this Saturday actually).
Blue Aura V40 amplifier, NAD PP2e phono preamp, Rega Planar 2 turntable (the prettiest tt out there, fight me about it), Sunfire HRS-10 subwoofer.
Speakers set up currently:
Kvart & Bolge Sound Sommelier – not sold anymore, sorry.
That’s pretty much what I use every day. I’ve got stuff in boxes all over. I’ve got a pair of the new Magnepan LRS speakers on the way, but those will take about a month. Also, this weekend I am demoing a Marantz PM-11S2 along with a pair of Quad Z-3, which will be replacing my living room setup if I like them. They will be accompanied with REL T/5i or REL T/9i. Still waiting back on an email from REL about which I should buy for my room size, speaker, and amp combination.
I know what you’re thinking, “this isn’t all budget stuff?” and you’re right. I’m slowly selling off my ‘budget’ collection to replace it with a non-collection of non-budget stuff (rather than having 20 speakers to switch between, I’ll be putting all of that money into one good system).
However I will still be buying and listening to budget stuff, because that’s much more fun. Of course a pair of $5000 speakers sound good, but do a pair of $200 speakers sound good? That’s fun for me, but sometimes I like to just sit back and listen to music without worrying about my equipment.
