TWOCHANNEL REFERENCE BUILD
AI-generated approximation — the photo is a staged composite for illustration (relative sizing of the components may be off) and the write-up was drafted from the component specs. Nobody has listened to this system.
In a medium living room, streaming a piano sonata, a live jazz set or an electronic track sounds spacious and balanced through neutral tower speakers, with a dedicated streamer and separate preamplifier and power amplifier keeping the tone even from low to high, though you won’t get the deepest rumble without adding a subwoofer.

Lowest frequency response across the system’s components. Approximate — a component is excluded only when it declares an amplifier wattage without also declaring a sensitivity figure, so an amplifier that happens to report a sensitivity slips through and can pull the reading down.
Drive difficulty93.0 dB/W
99.0 dB/W85.0 dB/W
Speaker sensitivity normalised to 8 ohms. Approximate — we do not record whether a figure was quoted per watt or per 2.83 volts, so a non-8-ohm speaker can be out by up to 3 dB.
