Classe CA-M 600 vs Electrocompaniet NEMO

Hello everybody. My current system at the moment is all top of the line Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP/4.8/NEMO driving a pair of B&W 800 Diamonds (the latest ones, not D).While the system sounds impressive it doesn't sound as effortless as it should (keep in mind that I don't have dedicated lines yet and most of the living room seems to sit on one line!). I know that NEMO's eat tons of current so that could be the problem. I can't help but wonder if switching to all Classe set up (CP 800/CA-M 600) would be a good idea. The Classe/B&W set ups I heard at the dealers all sounded like the amps and the speakers were literally made for each other.

I am an Electro dealer and I have a lot of experience with their products.

Nemo's are effortless, and very, very good sounding.

The question remains on how specifically is your system set up.

Do you use power conditioning, good cables, power cables? All of these make a considerable difference also do you have dedicated lines? Are you running balanced lines?

You can get far superior results by changing other elements of the system the Electro CD player is not up to snuff compared to other digital front ends, I would also consider a preamp swap as well.
