Nice looking system. Just a few observations. First, do you have a sub? I don't see one listed. Also, I have a Well Tempered Amadeus GTA table. Your electronics(Anthem and McIntosh) are really top notch. I did notice though that your speakers are not matched. You have Legacy fronts, which I am sure sound great. A Revel center and Polk surrounds. Do you have any plans on making your system all one company like Legacy?

For a long time I was using Polk bookshelf speakers with my JM Labs speakers. Then I went with a set of Focal speakers for my surrounds and I could not believe how much better everything sounded. I am sure it sounds great now but once you match speaker companies, it does make a difference.

I am also wondering if you have room treatments. That also is a big part of getting the most out of your system. My entire sound changed once I put up room treatments. You don't have to go crazy. I recommend GIK audio.

As I said, I am sure the system sounds great. These are just some suggestions that may help it sound even better .
