listener fatigue? go analogue.


I own B&W CDM 1NT speakers and often I want to sell them.
The first impression was good but after 20 minutes listening to them I didn't enjoy my music, I bought a phono-amp and started listen to some LP's, away was the hard sound,
now they sound smooth and warm and I can listen hours to
them. I own this speakers for three years, now I enjoy them. I don't say CD is bad but analogue is better, it's not as clinical or cold.
I will not sell my speakers.

Please do not take offense to my post but your equipment has no synergy. Rotel has a tendancy to sound forward and yes sometimes aggressive (not as bad as Adcom but not great either). Your B&W's are also highly revealing and will reproduce what is put into them. My advice, sell your Rotel Gear and by a Tube Integrated Amplifier. You will be amazed. Also, maybe consider a tube CD Player with a more relaxed sounding amp like an Electrocompaniet integrated. All this equipment can be found used for not that much more than your Rotel equipment. Once this is done, I think you will hear a different sound from your speakers... Good Luck!
