Hey-Hey!!!,
The source is a Pioneer DV-563A. It's stock and sounds OK. The speakers are 3-ways. JBL 4560 loaded with EVM-15L EV's. Mids are 18" long 30-degree included angle horns. 2" throat and loaded with FE-107's. The top is an old pair of Radio Shack compression driver horns.
I like to play what I like to listen to. Live Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Bela Fleck, and some Allison Kraus get the most time. Led Zeplin, CCR, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and The Who...
If I like listening to it while doing the dishes or folding laundry, it is aceptable test material. Some do stand out, Bela Fleck's album Uncommon Ritual is a nice string piece. From Cosmic Hippo, 'The Flight of the Cosmic Hippo' is always a fav, as is the live cut from Live Art. Little Worlds has a sweet version of 'The Ballad of Jed Clampett'. The SACD of Dark Side has a few favs too. 'Money' and the piece before 'Time'...
the H-E speakers mean I can't stand much noise, either hum or dirt from no place in particular. It is aceptable on a poor man's budget. Heaven helpme if I had to buy it retail...
regards,
Douglas
