I'm not really an audiophile, but I do like to listen to music. Inspired by my nephew I started to build my audio setup again.

Equipment

After much deliberation I currently ended up with this audio equipent:

Hepta Four Tune Excellence

I still very pleased with these Dutch loudspeakers, one of the last that Hepta build with side woofers. I can hear the details in music which I couldn't hear with my previous set of Quarz loudspeakers. The disadantage is you get very selective in the music you play. Mp3 is a problem, you can clearly hear the faults in the music. But the differences between CD's is huge. Some CD's just don't sound right, very funny. Mode details on these loudspeakers can be found on:

With | | | the 840A from Cambridge I seem to | | | have found a pretty good | | | alternative. And, a bit to my | | | amazement, the difference with my | | | old Onkyo amplifier was very | | | noticable.
