Hello from Kentucky
Hello from Kentucky
It's great to finally get on the forum after a couple months of trying! I look forward to participating in the forum and hope to learn a lot. I live just outside Louisville and am fairly new to audio. The system I currently have consists of a pair of cherry 180's, Emotiva xsp1, oppo 105 and some Gallo Classico 4 towers.
Thanks for having me!

Don't believe all you hear. We don't bite... well most of us at least. Keep your eye on Shortcake. She bites, but usually only when you ask her to.

Re: Hello from Kentucky
Purchased my first piece of HiFi about two years ago. After hearing a pair of Martin Logan's demoed at my local best buy, I was blown away. My first purchase was an emotiva xpa-2 and hooked it up to my onkyo 757 along with some Polk speakers that I had. It was ok for a starter set up. I became really curious about tubes because I wanted a warmer sound and liked the look. I next purchased a Vincent 236mk intergrated and really enjoyed the sound and rolled my first tubes along with purchasing some Gallo CL-4. Last fall I had the chance to pick up a used set of cherries for a great price. I loved the look and the versatility of the amps. That is quick synopsis.radioeng2 wrote:Hi Paul,
