Is my Amp OK?


I recently bought brand new speakers - Revel f208. Using them with Cary Audio DMS-500 DAC and Rotel RB-1590.

While I love the sound I am getting, and I am 100% sure the speakers and DAC are great, I feel that I can do better with the Amp. True? If so, what do I get to replace the Rotel RB-1590?

What makes you hear that its not?

What, in the sound would you want to hear/feel different? Subwoofer?

I've heard these are great amps/speakers and you should have more then enough power so tell us what is missing!  Have you tried other amps to compare?  If not, haul those speakers down to a good shop and let them help you.  You only want to buy from somebody that cares enough about audio that you get what you need.  We would all like to have 100s of thousands in our gear but that is  "Stupid Crazy". Friend of mine coined the phrase...

these and other exciting ideas.

You can read all the magazines out there that audiophiles like. 

SS vs tubes and all that crap can be discussed until said "cows come home" but nothing works as good as your ears. 

Take care trusting reviews but use them as a guide to help direct you what to trial.  Everyone hears uniquely, likes different types of music, and what you like might not work for someone else.

What works best with your budget and existing gear?

Take your time to do it right and you won't be upgrading for a long while...
