On my two channel system which consists of a C-1,M-500 mkII,M1.0t ,Yaquin CD-3 tube buffer and the TT. No sub. And the speakers are Klipsch Forte II's and Original Large Advents. And I could not ask for a better sounding system. I would guess from all of the replys it's going to fall back on the old saying "It's what sounds good to you".
We all have different tastes in music and ears.......
