Everyone once in a while we put together a system in the store that just so defies its total price, it’s unbelievable.

Right now, this system is blowing us away (for the money):

Magico A5’s
Pass X260.8’s
Pass XP22
MSB Discrete
Shunyata Alpha V2 power cables, IC’s and speaker cables

The cables brought this entire system to a whole new level I must say. I would take this system to the show and win best of show, I’m telling you.

I’ll try to make some videos next week.

Sorry, but I had to turn away after seeing these-Magico A5’s, Shunyata Alpha V2 power cables, IC’s and speaker cables. Must take a few deep breaths......:popcorn:

Well, sort of...the aluminium enclosure of A5 comes from China, right? And the crossover parts come from Germany? So it's a bit of an international hybrid effort.

I'm guessing it's a $100K-ish MSRP system all up?

I was adding it up in my head. Not quite.

$13K x260.8 amps
$9500 xp22 preamp
$13K MSB DAC (this one has Roon module and dual PSU)
$21,800 A5 speakers
$10k Alpha V2 power cables (5)
$4k Alpa V2 speaker cables
$600 Alpha Ethernet
$6000 for all the Alpha V2 IC’s
$5000 6000 V/2 PC

$82,900 MSRP

LOTS of money indeed, but seriously seriously great sounding.

It is a lot of money, but actually, if I added up the price of all of my system's components, when new, it would come to about $80,000, so no, its not an unreasonable amount of money for such a high-end system.

*-BTW, Mike, I think the $6000 for the 6000 V2, you're referring to the Denali 6000
V2 power distributor, correct? (not power cables?)

And for the same money you could buy a pair of M3 and just get to admire their beauty. In silence.

would you mind to try if a omega pc from wall to conditioner would have a great impact?

We have the Omega on the Everest. We do have two Omega NR’s, but they are on the MSB Select II.
