RE: Starting from scratch which piece of the system do you put in place first?

I only use headphones in my studio for multitrack recording, so they never come into play with my listening rig. My Klipschorns are 12 feet apart in the corners, and my living room opens into my dining room/studio space. I sit 12 feet from the speakers, so lots of the room sound is largely controlled by not being too far from the speaks. In front of the Khorns (powered by a Sansui 8080DB) sit two single 15" subs (Ampeg PR-15H) powered by a Crown CE-2000 and a Sumo Athena preamp. It's an easily-balanced system, lots of headroom all around, and never blaringly loud, although the capability clearly exists. The room is pretty live and enjoyable from my huge leather chair purpose-bought for viewing, surfing and listening via internet/streaming/computer audio, cable TV and vinyl.
