Today has been surreal.. I'm jittery still. It was just an incredible christening with Jon. We listened all day to these beautiful speakers that he built. We discussed what we were hearing and it was just "another world experience for me. He felt the same, and if he didn't feel that way he wouldn't say it. Steve Deckert has a winner in this speaker he calls the HDT v 2. Charlie

After listening to and living with a pair of 6" Lii Audio speakers a while back I was really impressed. I feel very fortunate to have had a sneak peek session yesterday with these new fresh built amazing speakers. I took the Sarah 300b amp to meet with the pictured Decware HDTvII's and their 8” drivers and it was probably the best I have heard that room sound. That room belongs to my friend, and speaker builder Jon Anderson. I cannot wait to hear them in my main room next week. I love walnut btw. Sarah+HDTv2=WOW!

Currently: Decware Mini Torii with 5933/807w tubes Schiit Freya+ with Tung Sol 6sn7 tubes Schiit Loki Max HiFi Rose RS150B Streamer/DAC GPA 604-8H III Jon Anderson designed Stonehenge V cabinets GPA matching crossovers TEAC and Otari tape machines SVS Pro 1000 12" subs Nordost Blue Heaven cables Everything from 30hz to the supertweeters is fully on the fly adjustable from the listening position. Things just float around the room in a sometimes 360 degree audio presentation that disappears into a wall of sound that is deeper and wider by far than the actual dimensions of the room. It is the best audio I personally have heard. Organic, natural, unbloated, and just head bobbing/toe tapping audio joy. 2023 find/finish a turntable, and decide on a centerpiece amplifier or upgrade the one pictured to wrap it all up.

After settling in now for a bit and revisiting many tube amps again nothing has ever sounded better to me personally in the over 45 years of this beautiful audio journey. The small unassuming amp that has taken center stage and shining like I never thought it could is the Decware Mini Torii with the adapted 5933/807 power tube at just under 4wpc.
