I know Franc Kuzma personally. He is great, fair and honest Man. His products are among the best what your money can buy. All respect and wishing him only all the best!😊

Fascinating. I have some Kuzma gear that brings me pleasure. I visited Slovenia from Western Canada in May 2023, and loved it. Next time, I hope to arrange to visit Kuzma facilities and pay homage. An amazing story, Kuzma. 😊

Very cool room!

Great room!

[@branislavturzak7219]

Legacy is very good choice

[@totalplonker824]

The system first then the room. Mind you both are never ending.

[@Audiofreak71]

Negative, I have to disagree here because if the room isn’t right the system will never sound right. It’s one of the main reasons audiophiles chase their tails because they throw money at their system thinking it will make it better but yet there is always something off and 9 times out of 10 it’s because they neglected the room.

[@totalplonker824]

​@@Audiofreak71yeah maybe room first then system but that's normally for those who knows exactly what ones doing! When one's a beginner (like myself) one needs something to work from. Even though I have Dirac for this very reason, without a system I wouldn't realise just how important good room acoustics really are.

[@Audiofreak71]

@@totalplonker824 That makes sense, but it doesn’t take spending a lot of money to get a room acoustically setup for a system. I use Dirac live as well as REW in my system as well along with a completely acoustically treated room and the combination works perfectly for me.

Have a 4 point 9 on my Avid Volvere. It’s excellent.

[@leonardosullivan963]

I am also liking the rack that is being used. Does anyone know what is the brand.

[@jonpatrick66]

I love your thick Maple shelves on your audio rack. Solid! And handsome. Well done.

[@clubvintagejbl7422]

Please, which speakers are that in the video? Many thanks

Legacy Audio 'Wisper'

[@sonusancti]

Scandinavians are among the best in the world no doubt, in both recording and acoustics. As an audio enthusiast for 30+ yrs, the room is the most difficult part to get right as each one is unique. Getting it even half right can pay enormous dividends to the sound that can transform your system multiple times it's worth. Some are averse to active treatment. I'm open minded. Hybrid passive and active room treatment is fine. Is natural musical sound possible with active treatment? For me, yes. Ultimately, its results that matter.

[@dap777754]

So, Scandinavians and Slovenians you're saying?

[@sonusancti]

@@dap777754 He did say he hired a Swedish acoustics outfit to do his room.

[@dap777754]

@@sonusancti Thx. I missed that. Fun to see a European with a big ole Legacy speaker.

The prices of the turntables went extreme up in a few years.

[@fullranger3435]

I'm oddly surprized by the rather (by strict audiophile standards) poor choice of the Legacies. I think the only advantage of these speakers is effortlessness and a big sound. But, mediocrities in any other aspect. Rather an old school of Hi-Fi, with some glorious moments in the past, when a big sound was really a lot to have. A lot of bang for the buck, for sure.

[@craigellsworth3952]

@fullranger3435 And what superior speakers do you have?

[@fullranger3435]

@@craigellsworth3952 the kind noone has, because they cannot afford the time, effort, R&D and knowledge to make them. Now working on bigger ones.

Why didn't you film a complete walk through of his system??
