System Pics 2020

Randomly I’ve just this second finished watching one of your YouTube videos playing Floyd.

Lovely setup.

Yeah it’s a great bit of kit for the money and a real conversation starter. It doesn’t half kick out some heat though !!!

Sounds a lot better with upgraded power tubes.

New neighbours have moved in on the ground floor and 3rd floor of Brawn Tower.

Supercap to Radikal “who are these young whipersnappers moving on to our turf making a load of noise?”

Radikal to Supercap…”well they seem to have brought their 300 kids with them, what do you expect?”

Nice selection of malts there.

Oh and a very good looking system. Good place to chill and listen to some favourite music

It may be that you are a little “peaty” for the palate of @ditton66. :grinning: That said music tastes may be similar and you do both enjoy Naim.

Looks like you’re all sorted - all the important things close to hand in that room and a great system too :+1:

Interesting system… rarely do I see Naim and horns. I’ve always wanted to hear the Volti speakers, especially the big one that looks like a Klipsch La Scala.

Thanks I love these speakers especially with Naim - Originally I ran a Luxman 509X through the Rivals and then later a Luxman MQ88uSE tube amp with separate tube pre and Chord M Scaler/Hugo TT 2 through them and while it was exceptional for low energy acoustic music with a lot of timbre and texture, there wasn’t enough power and impedance to really let the Rivals shine with the dynamics and energy they excel at. The Naim gear is a fantastic match, from both the Nova which I started out with to the Supernait 3 in this current system.

I have heard both the Vittoras and the Rivals at the same show. At the time I owned Klipsch La Scala IIs and was very keen on the Vittoras. However they are very very large speakers and the addition of the ELF cabinets and active amps makes it a very bulky system that needs a lot of room. The Rivals had a certain high energy boogie factor that made them very addictive and they sound much larger than they appear, with a pretty massive scale when properly powered.

My experience is that a good bottle improves the way the system sounds.

Currently listening with a bottle of Crozes-Hermitage from Combier. Subtile and powerful. Isn’t what we are expecting from our systems?

Try this bad boy. Wonderful…
