    Hello from San Francisco

    Greetings,

    I've been out of the hobby for several years after settling on my current system which consists of JA Michell Gyrodec, Weiss DAC 202 (connected to a MacBook), VAC Sigma 160SE and Nola Metro Grand Reference speakers. Well the bug bit me again and I just ordered my dream system (i.e., MBL). I'm anxiously awaiting delivery and stumbled upon this site looking for MBL forums.

    I look forward to conversations (MBL and otherwise)!

    Regards,
    Patrick

    Thanks Tom,
    I'd love to have you over and also love to hear your system! I should mention that my two strongest memories from RMAF 2007 was the MBL room and the 4-channel demo set up by Roy Kimber using as I recall 3 SoundLab panels per corner. It was breathtaking.
