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

Have you considered the LS5? If you want more body, warmth, the LS5 is THE ARC line stage to do this. It has a 3-dimensionality, bloom and harmonic richness the LS15 can not touch. Look for a MK III as these have a more natural top-end than the MK II and the III also has a little more resolution which is very noticeable on vocals.
