Dual Fathoms?! You spoil us.

Thing of beauty, WAB. Music must be incredible with the fidelity of ML + McIntosh. Surprised there's no vinyl lying about.

croseiv · 12-27-2009, 11:49 PM

LOL!!! I'm just trying to imagine how many people are drooling over your system right now...

rded · 12-27-2009, 11:55 PM

Oooooo.......Looks like Richteer has some serious competition with those MLs and Db01 with those Macs!

Great system you got there Mr Wabo!

SeanMF · 12-28-2009, 12:03 AM

I'm definitely drooling. Amazing all round. Excellent job!

Beta Man · 12-28-2009, 12:10 AM

Yowza! Very nice indeed.

rkolinski · 12-28-2009, 12:37 AM

Really IMPRESSIVE home theater; earned a "10" from me!

Johnny Vinyl · 12-28-2009, 12:48 AM

Very nice indeed Waboman! A most amazing and classy system to be sure. Nice to see that you were able to figure out the somewhat confusing issue of posting here, there and everywhere on the site.

Let me be the first to remark (however in jest) where is the turntable? A system like this is screaming for some vinyl loving! As one of the resident vinyl nuts I could not let this observation pass, so please do forgive me.

Seeing as you started your own HT gallery now, do tell us a little more about how and where your HT interests lay.

Great to have you here on Blu-ray.com and I think you'll fit right in.

Second, John! I noticed the lack of vinyl as well...

All I can say to you sir, amazing HT.

Excellent setup ! How do you like your MC205 for HT ? I was just checking out the MC207 on the net the other day and was wondering about it.

phansson · 12-28-2009, 02:10 AM

I would like to know what kind of cabling you are using. I didn't see anything listed.
