If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly upgrading your gear and spending several stacks of thousands of dollars…
But what if our picture of endgame doesn’t exist? In other words, we are chasing a certain quality that doesn’t exist?

Happy to share!
Main Amp - Denon PMA-600ne (Love It!!)
That is also run to a second cheaper Onkyo TX-8555 amp (this is my second level garage sale special).
Denon runs two Polk tsi-500 floor standing speakers.
Onkyo runs two chest level wall mounted Totek Mite speakers on the rear wall to the left and right if my couch. They are tied in quite a bit, and when I use them they are maybe 60% the volume of the front Polks. Somehow on recordings with good stereo separation only certain instruments will hover around these little speakers, but very clearly present.
Denon 45f turntable with a Nagaoka MP-200 stylus.
Sony CDP-C725 cd player.
The cool thing I lucked in to is that when I balance the two-way front speakers on their amp with the two-way rear speakers on my other amp on a lot of stereo recordings from the 60’s & 70’s it yields a very 3-D, very clear separation where say piano is over my right shoulder, drums over my left shoulder, guitar right front, bass mid-left front and vocals mid-right front. It can be a bit startling sometimes and really fun :-)
