Quality Speaker System Work Log [56k Warning]
Alright , so for those who don't know much about high end speakers besides the very well know Z-5500s, I am making this thread to inspire you to become an audiophile like me and the rest of the Audio-Lucious community.
Over the next few weeks , i will be receiving different components in the hopes to get the best bang for my buck. I would like to thanks soloz for helping me out and being patient  Components: Monitors (Speakers) : Onix Reference 0.5s {info} {picture} Amplifier : Sonic Impact T-amp Gen 2 {link} Wires: 14-16 awg bare wire + mini-RCA (Soloz Reference IC) Will keep this updated as long things keep comming in. Thanks for looking! Picture time! -update 1- [amp+cables have not come in yet] http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2772.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2773.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2774.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2775.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2779.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2780.jpg UPDATE 2: Cut the wire in half and connected both speakers. http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2786.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2788.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2790.jpg UPDATE 3: Got my Mopads! http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2792.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2794.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2795.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2796.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2797.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2798.jpg http://themasors.com/ocn/ergo/ocn/IMG_2799.jpg Dissertation: As soon as i turned up the volume on my receiver and felt the vibes travel through my body , i knew that something was different. The bass was also punchier and full , but i couldnt feel it as much on my feet (as i previously did). Overall , mopads are great and i highly recommend them, i will also state that these are a requirement for glass desks, as having any speakers directly onto a glass desk reduces their sound quality.  Here you go guys - the final update.  ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  There you go - my audio set-up. Overall i paid $323, not bad eih? I would like to thank soloz for helping me out - giving me free monoprice 14 awg wire...i really do apreciate it. So if anyone wants to do what i did, order cables from soloz , and he might have some amps or speakers readily available...  , He's great to do business with.When i first got the t-amp , i pulled it out and examined it , and was like... this thing feels like a piece of crap...But when i finished installing , i was completely blown away at what this little baby can do. I have to admit , the bass reproduction is not the same as the other receiver/amp i had , but the fidelity of the music is much better , and since i listen to mostly house/ambient music , its way more important. The soloz cable i received is well constructed , and im quite sure its doing its job as i type (listening to music) - i received a RCA-mini converter - which is standard and cheaply built , but i don't think its made a real difference , since the sound quality is great. Overall i am very pleased with what i have purchased / chose and i recommend anyone who is looking for a pleasant listening experience to follow in my steps and do the same. If you have any questions , please pm me! Thanks for looking!!

Z5500's, high end??
 Also thought that those class T amps were based on the principle of class D circuitry with the ability to go full range (at least a few years ago before they started on the whole full range class D not for subs anymore bandwagons) Why not try to find a good used/cheap class A tube amp?
