Room acoustics and speaker placement can have a ton to do with it as well, although above not believed, yes power is problematic too, but I can say with heavier music stuff your speakers might need to come further off the sidewalls and further into the room to relieve some congestion and reflection.. also could need to be toed in more, by like a quarter inch or so.. this can add a lot to the image density in the center of the room making it far more clear and dynamic. Especially moving the speaker to a new more optimal position if they were in the same one before room tweaks you mention, cause everything will throw them off that was added to the room in comparison to the original position they sat.
Congested sound - more power or resolution?
My sound has improved markedly with the upgrades I have done. One part of my music collection still isn't right though. Previously at higher SPLs all music got bad slap echo and bright, room treatment has sorted that out.
Now with some tracks mainly rock with guitars especially, the sound gets congested, image is lost and it gets grungy. Have I met the limits of my room, or with more power would I have better control of my speakers under a lot of stress? Or would a better quality spinner give more improvement through better resolution in the first place?
My system in in my signature, but breifly Arcam DV27, Meridian 861, Krell Showcase amp, Wilson Sophia.
Both player and power amps will get upgraded, I'm just trying to prioritise my budget.
