Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well?


For those of you who don't follow my posts religiously, I recently purchased a pair of Martin Logan SL3's. I love them; they especially excel with voices. However, last night, I was listening to Bolero, and the snare sounded terrible. It sounded muffled and faint. I adjusted the settings, and nothing helped. I am using a MC275 and c2300, so I assume the problem is with the speakers. Any suggestions, ideas? Thank you in advance.

Seems to be a simple cabling synergy/mis-match issue to me..
Change a component within a system, more so the speakers - you'll most likely have to
re-finetune to get things to perfect again. Some cables tending toward the rich full side
usually do thicken hence muffled/faint attacks/leading edge of certain instrumentations.

Call the CableCo./your dealer to borrow some and play around a bit (IC, SC, PC -
depending on what you have and are currently using - zoom in on the 'suspect' and try
switching that piece out) I'm quite sure with a little effort your problem could be
overcome quickly this way ie.find that right balance for your system and taste. In my
case, having had similar issue, the swapping of one IC going from dac>pre does the
trick. Good luck.
