I'M A 54 YEAR OLD "PHILE" LIVING IN TEXAS. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL SYSTEMS FROM CO'S LIKE TRESHOLD, KRELL, ARC, ROWLAND, LINN AND CURRENTLY USE ACCUPHASE INCLUDING THEIR INCREDIBLE DP-75V CD PLAYER. MY WIFE LOVES THE MUSIC HIGH-END DELIVERS BUT NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN THE EQUIP. SHE DOES UNDERSTAND A GREAT DEAL ABOUT IT THOUGH WHICH HELPS.

Wow, lots of people talking. Its nice to see who's behind the @. My name is Pete and I am 34. I am married and have a 3yrs old daughter, "O" I forgot to mention a very understanding wife. I've been in the military for 14 yrs, started in the USAF, then the USCG and now in the USANG(air national guard fulltime), my job is military police. I also own a couple apartments, which I ventured into 5 yrs ago. Hell who could afford this stuff on just military pay. Been many places and into music since I listened to "bye bye miss american pie" when I was about six. I played sax for 2 yrs, love the sound of the sax but I gave it up, honestly I sucked at it. At age 11 I owned a pioneer system and was into all kinds of music. Knew I would eventually own separates just picky up until 2 yrs ago when I heard some ML aerius i. Which I do love for the speed. I listen to Dire straights, jethro tull, eagles, rock, jazz, female and male vocals, mozart, and everyday I find something else that moves me. Recently took interest in 3 blind mice, gertz/go something or other, and cowboy junkies. Always looking for something new. So I guess I listen to what moves me. Hobbies include this crazily over priced hobbie, cars and snowmobiling. As far as this hobbie goes, I don't claim to no much about it, but I know what I like and if I can't addition it I usually won't buy it. I do support my local dealer, but I do believe their interest lie else were. Though its hard to know all equip.. Yes I do say whats on my mind, that's me.

My equip is ML aerius i, DC-1, bat vk200, b&k amp forgot model # but its a 3 channel for rear(paradigm stylus) and center is ML cinima, pioneer elite DV-07 301cd/dvd, niles ipc 12(dealer said I need one, now I know I could have upgrade the breakers in the box and been better off), nht sub sw2pi great sub for the price, but looking for more now. Looking to get a bat pre to better my 2 channel. Really bat 3i, vk200, ml, pioneer cd(I found surenergy here, for me any how) transparent music wave thru out, except the interconnects betw the dc and bat is rca to balanced from analsyst plus. Dealer told me the analsyst would sound better than the transparent, well I say you should have saved me the money and sold me the analsyst first. Sorry alittle excited there. And thats about it. Looking for a little help here. Thinking of the vmps subs and marchland xcross over. If anyone has any knowledge of this e-mail me at pcc67@mediaone.net I'll try to keep the question short, but probably not. See ya, have fun audio friends. Love this site, some of you really know what your doing and I appreciate all the help I have received. Thanx Pete
