CJ LS17 vs ARC LS15

Howdy,

I'm using an ARC LS15 with infinicap upgrade into Sim W10 mono's with Maggie 3.6's.
I want to add a little more midrange body/warmth without losing any detail, dimensionality and transparency.

I've tried the CJ PV14 which added that extra bit of midrange bloom but lost a little detail and transparency.

Would the LS17 be a good step up from the ARC or a sidways step? How much better is it than the PV14?
Any ideas?

Thanks

I think if you can pick up a s/h prem 16 you will be making a nice step up. The prem 16 is smooth, dynamic and slightly warm with superior remote control. Just don't run long interconnects over 3 metres

ps, I don't think the prem 17 is neutral but a little warm - I have not heard the series 2 but I doubt if cj would dramatically change the sound.
More to discover
