In Reply to: Survey - How many hours a week do you listen posted by fin1bxn@msn.com on November 1, 2006 at 04:27:34:
Hi,I'm new to the forum. I'm working from home right now so I get a reasonable amount of listening time in. My system is on around 35-40 hours a week. About 10-12 hours of that is critical listening.
My system:
1. MG1.6QR from 2005
2. Mye stands
3. Two Electrocompaniet AW70 bridged monoblocks (220 watts per side)
4. Electrocompaniet EMC 1 UP CD player
5. Electrocompaniet 4.7 SE preamp (arrives this week to replace Halo)
6. Parasound Halo P3 preamp
7. Parasound Halo T3 tuner
8. Mid '80s AR turntable with Linn Basik LVX arm and Ortophon X5
9. NBS Serpent III shotgun speaker cables and balanced interconnects.
Some may argue that the bridged AW70s might run too hot to be used with the 4 OHM Maggies, but the amps runs only mildly worm at high volumes. In bridged mode thay put out 220 watts per side into 8 ohms and 360 watts into 4 ohms. In stereo mode, these amps are stable to 2 ohms and put out 70 wpc for each amp.The overall sound of my system is sweet and romantic with a reasonably wide and deep soundstage. I believe most of the limitations with this system are probably due more to room effects than the electronics.
