Overall view of the audio system

 

The second room had a more modest setup, but equally entertaining in its own way. The Leben CS-300 integrated amp driving Totem Arro speakers produced a big and airy soundstage with bass output to spare. As usual, many who listened to this combo commented on the surprisingly generous bass coming out of a slim speaker that had woofers that look more like midrange drivers!

This system is perfect for audiophiles who are space challenged, or looking for a good 2nd system for their bedroom/ study. The sound was full, rich and musical, without being boomy.
