Ronnie’s Comments:

 

 

General:

 

“Although my system looks more like a Home Theatre set up, I mainly use them for 2 Channel Audio.

May favorite amplifier is the 6L6 tube gear designed by Dr. Martin Leung.   The vocals are sweet and involving.

 

I hardly ever use the system in the basement.   I believe the CEC is underpowered when it comes to driving the B&W 802. 

But believe it or not, the Dick Sequerra speaker is even harder to drive. “ 

 

 

 

Future Plans:

 

“I would like to purchase a Mark Levinson or Krell Amplifier for my B&W 802.   Its an old speaker but I have always wanted to own it while I was younger.  I don’t think I’ll ever give it up.”

 

 

 

Tweaks

 

“My basement walls are fully treated with Deflex Panels.   They are the ones used by Cineplex Odeon for theatres.  I had the opportunity to buy them at a rather low price.   They serve their purposes well”.

 

 

The Antique Luxman Amplifier is for decoration only.

 

The Martin L. designed 6L6 amp sound sweet and involving.   Designed and made in Vancouver, Canada.

The quality of the finishing is no less than that of Audio Aero or Jadis Amplifiers.   According to Ronnie, the designer of this special amplifier had the chrome chassis made by Porche Germany.

This funny looking speaker is designed by Dick Sequerra.  The designer of the Marantz 10B FM Tuner.  Small but power hungry, none of the gears in Ronnie’s house had enough juice to power them.
