Hi All,
Here is my dilemma:
I have what on paper should be a great sounding system, however I am just not enjoying it......
It can sound a little lifeless, hard treble, and sometimes just plain lose the plot on complex music pieces.
Basicaly I am looking for any advice on how to warm up and tighten up the system, even if that means replacing a component or two. I mainly listen to two channel stereo music as well as a couple of movies a week. I listen to anything from Norah Jones to classical to the Arcade Fire, Gorillaz etc....
My system
Marantz SR4600 AV Reciever (drives centre and rears)
Marantz DV-4610 Dvd player (conected via digital coax)
Rotel RA-1060 stereo integrated amplifier (drives fronts - connected to AV amp preouts with Qunex Qed 2)
Arcam CD73T cd player (connected to Rotel with Staright Wire Encore II interconnect)
Boston PV700 sub
B&W 601 S3 fronts (on solid granite and steel All Acoustics stands)
B&W LCR60 S3 centre
B&W 600 S3 rears
Straight Wire - Bi Wire speaker cable "Waveguide 3.5"
I have spent hours ensuring I can get the maximum stereo image from the fronts, made sure the room is not too bright and isolated the components on vibrapod sorbathane feet. All the electrics are running through a conditioner and filter unit.
It just doesn't sound expansive, sweet or big, my listening room is 3 meters by 7 meters, although, I only use a 3x4 section of that.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Regards
Anthony
