Buy a decent subwoofer, I prefer a sealed enclosure like the SVS line starting with SB. I think the 2000 series is on sale now. You can turn it on and off as needed. I also have bought some used that work great for music like the older Yamaha YST line. I have two subs in my system to cover those lower frequencies better. Try this, I swear it will change your life. I even added an older Bose passive sub on my second system. I know Bose is a four letter word, but it worked great to round out some small bookshelves speakers.
2 Questions?
It has been pointed out to me by some posters here, that generally higher-end speakers are not so forgiving with poorly recorded music much of what seems to be 70 - 80's era rock.
Room treatments aside (and without cutting holes in my walls to vent my speakers outside as some have suggested).
I am looking for some advice from others about what speakers have worked well with this situation?
Currently running Roon Nucleus through a W4S 2v2SE Dac tethered to CODA CSiB V1 configuration
(150 w @ 8 ohm) integrated amp. $3,000 ceiling, give or take.
Second question: Is there a decent quality speaker switch that I could hook up to my amp to simply toggle between two sets of speakers? My amp has 2 speaker outputs on the back but no A/B switch to change from one set of speakers to the other.
I see there inexpensive switches offered that have limited power ratings (eg: 100 watts per channel). Are these sufficient for doing the job? Will these switches have a negative effect on sound quality? Thanks.
