Yet another audio nerd. I'm from Minneapolis, MN.

**kurt** · **08-02-07, 12:12 PM**

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I'm relatively new to the hobby/addiction so I thought I'd join the shack so I could learn a little and nerd out on stereo stuffs with people who can sympathize with my plight...

I've got quite the addiction going once I heard what really good audio sounded like I was hooked. I always had just heard what they had a the major electronics stores and was into it but I never really got it until I heard the real thing. So I've been soaking up whatever I can over the last few months and have assembled a pretty decent system that needs some tweaking to get it to sound like it should. I'll post my components here and the main pic of my room but I intend to post another few posts in regards to accoustic panels and fine tuning etc ...

Main Home Audio/Video System Equipment List:
Martin Logan Summits (fronts)
Martin Logan Stage (center)
Martin Logan Vistas (rears)

Nad Master series

M25 amplifier
M15 surround sound processor
M55 Cd/Dvd player

Audioquest Niagra Interconnects (front, center)

Audioquest Colorado Interconnects (rears)

Speaker wire is Ultimate Electronics. 2.50 per foot temporarily until I can upgrade to something better.

Hi Kurt and Welcome to the Shack! Terrible stuff with the bridge yesterday. Hope you don't use it! It's good to have another Minny here!

Hello Kurt and welcome to the Shack!

I am jealous of those ML's... very nice.

Hi Kurt,

Did you get the NAD Master's locally?

**kurt** · **08-03-07, 10:13 AM**

I was hoping we had a few more minnesotans on here thats good to hear. Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone.

I posted some pics and my accoustic problems on the home audio acoustics section.

Hoping to find some answers to my bright, large loft space...

Chas,

I did not get the master series locally I got them from a dealer in the chicago area at a really good price. Feel free to contact me for his info. He's a really good guy, very knowledgeable and did I mention he hooks up the deals??

Hello Kurt and Welcome to the Shack. Nice rig ya got there.

Chas,

I'm really happy with the NAD master series components I got. I auditoned several other pieces and for the money I spent I think these are the most bang for my buck that my ears would agree with.
