Try something that is more sensitive and can therefore “wake up” at lower sound levels. It would be useful to at least listen to examples such as (in the price range) Devore O/93. But... such speakers often sound at their best with tube amps (less damped), and I suspect they wouldn’t hit it off with your amp. ‘Haven’t heard the combo myself, but people seem to like the combination of Hegel and the bigger Harbeths.
I have atcsm40 want possible alternative
I have the atc sm40's. My only complaint is they seem to have to be played really loud for them to sound great. They are being pushed with hegel h590. blusesound vault running through a mytek brooklyn plus Thanks for any input
