EQ. Acoustic treatments. But different speakers.

@ghdprentice I have a newly purchased pair of 22 year old Sonus Faber Cremonas and with my McIntosh 2200 amp they can still screech when fed certain cds (vinyl seems to not be a problem). The older models may have a warmer tone, but they're still honest & occasionally unforgiving, depending on the amp you've paired them with. I can't listen to B&W diamond series at all. The tweeter's natural resonance is 35khz, breakup frequency is 17.5khz so playing anything with cymbals or bells I'll get ear fatigue (if not intense ringing) in less than 10 minutes' time. |
Bright is not a word I would use to describe B&W speakers, I have sold lots of them and own a few pair, not what the OP has, the speaker is last in the chain of audio it could be a system thing that just doesnt work, room issues, isolation issues etc Trial and error is the only way. my take is if one cant get the sound they are looking for with basic cables like Gator cable....STOP right there. I have heard very expensive cables that just plain dont sound musical, not saying they cant but start with the basics, try basic cables and different sources if you can and see where it goes. |
Nah, just a WAG based on your description of the sound you are getting, i.e. too bright and poor bass, etc. If my use of the word 'gross' offends you (and it must since you seem not to focus on any of my other posts) then I will gladly admit it was probably a superlative and change it to 'minor'. That help? IF the speakers are properly set up in your room, something that was suggested in many posts in your 2 threads, by myself and others, IF the electronics are high quality and 'matched' properly, then, the only thing left is the speakers which must be deficient for your purposes. If the speakers are not deficient for your purposes then you really have a conundrum. Good luck solving it.
