I'm a lucky guy

because my wife and my house impose certain disciplines on me. Such as:

1. the room I have available won't accommodate the space needs of floorstanding speakers, let alone something like planars. (I have "bookshelf" speakers that actually sit on top of built-in cabinets (thankfully, at the correct height if you turn the speaker upside down so the tweeter is on the bottom) about 15" in front of the wall behind them.)

2. All of the hardware must go inside the built-in cabinets, which rules out certain things like massive heat-generating tube or Class A transistor power amps and imposes a finite limit on how much stuff I can have and still have room to store records.

I'm sure some will see my system as hopelessly compromised.

Maybe they're right.

But I like listening to music on it, which, after all, is its purpose.
