    Hello From Houston

    Hi. I have been a member of the forum for a while, but I haven't been very active. I will try to change that. My wife and I recently moved here from the San Francisco Bay area. Now I have my own dedicated listening room! Well, sort of. I has to double as a 2 channel home theater room as well. We moved in April and I still don't have tunes playing! That is about to change. My newly built Spatial Lumina L2s arrived this week!! I am hiring some help to get them moved upstairs. I will provide greater detail later, but I will be using a MSB DAC, Pass Labs amp and Baetis Server in front of the Luminas. I will post pictures and impressions as things progress.

    Welcome aboard!

    We seem to be getting a lot of California transplants here in Texas the past few years. Hope you stay safe during the storms.

    Re: Hello From Houston

    Hi. Thanks for the warm welcomes!
    Sorry I have been delinquent in posting updates. Life has been extraordinarily busy. The speakers are upstairs and making music! Clayton Shaw, designer, suggested not doing any serious listening until the coaxial driver has had a chance to break in. I have been playing them for about 24 hours straight. I will say that the quality of what I am hearing has much improved over that period.

    I am having an issue with my Baetis server not picking up my external drive.

    I will post pics as soon as I hit the required 10 posts.
