Pretty cool to see the amount of knowledge on this board. I truly respect people who can understand all the technical jargon. I've always been more of a listener and dependent on what I hear rather than knowing exactly what's going on the technical side.

I work as an A/V Manager for 1300 seat religious venue in NYC. I have a degree in music and sound recording though I've learned more from real life situations. I've worked everywhere from recording studios to working as a studio technician for ESPN.

The audio bug bit me early in life as I come from a family that is musically talented. The high fidelity part comes from a family friend who showed me what a well designed system, that just happened to be Mark Levinson's Demo System, can sound like. I've always been more on the bang for the buck side which explains why I still love my 1050.

As for family, in the past two years I've gotten married, moved to a new house, and was blessed with fraternal twins. So, the audio system hasn't been updated in a bit.
