Hi. I invested quit a bit of dough in my system and I'm disatisfied to say the least. I have an Arcam AVR-300, Arcam CD-73, and a NAD DVD player with Energy C-3's for my mains and Energy C-C1 Centre. Movies sound fine but when playing music the sound is overly bright (harsh), and bass lacking. The sound is also kind of lifeless, not very involving. I had an old 30 watt/CH Rotel from the 80's that I enjoyed much more for music through the C-3s. Could it be bad speaker matching.I bought the amp new from Creative Audio and even if it's not broke in shouldn't sound this bad.Can someone please help...
