First off if a piece of equipment is bright it is not near perfect it is wrong. Finding the source of the sound you do t like is the hard part. Some times it can be as trivial as the receptacle you have the system plugged into. Some times it's placement. Sometimes it's the wire choice. Sometimes it is one piece of equipment. And sometimes it is a number of things all at the same time. All that being said if the choices you have made you are satisfied with the outcome you have made good choices. That is the name of the game. If you get pleasure from the system you have picked and put together. You have done the right thing.
Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue?
Since getting back into the hobby during covid I’ve really enjoyed listening to music vs. bluetooth low quality speakers. Since listening to my Nautilus 803 speakers with old Yamaha Amps (MX1, MX1000) they’ve been sweet sounding and warm.
A lot of people have said the new equipment is near perfect chasing specs, sounding bright and causing ear fatigue.
Curious if people feel the same?
