Beautiful color match on the amp and horns. Very classy.
 
Very Nice!

Does the room warrant the REL’s?

One can never have to much bass.
 
Very nice indeed!
This system will definitely never lack low end with 8 12” bass drivers!

Same question here: why another sub, as the speakers already have two (two 10” woofers each)? [emoji15]

The customer insisted on it. My advise was it was not necessary. Once dialed in, we shall see. I don’t expect the 212’s to be working too hard. I do have another customer with Avantgarde Duo Mezzo’s and Magico Q-Sub 15’s. He’s very happy with the results. But he has a very large room.
 
IMO, a properly integrated sub is not about the bass, it's about the space...

Also IMO, the great-as-they-are Avantgarde woofers are not subwoofers. A subwoofer implies a woofer working above it.
 
Awesome... what sources does he use? I see the Direct Stream DAC and transport but don't think I can tell his other sources...

My system is certainly not the level to afford Jim coming in for, but I found his book very interesting and certainly learned several good "tips".

Right now the DS DAC/Transport, but it will soon be going bye bye. He will be evaluating a couple of other products that I’ll bring to demo. His CD collection exceeds 15,000. I actually saw them all. Amazing.

Top two contenders he wants to hear are the new two box solution from T+A and the MSB Premier DAC + REF Transport.
