Thanks for the input, I actually have 2 Paradigm Studio Monitors for my rears. You are spot on with the brightness. That's what's bothering me the most. I might switch to a different Pre-Amp as well. Thanks for the suggestion on the Halo. A few have mentioned that as too. I might have to listen to one here soon. The A21 is what I'll be looking at. thanks again!
Looking for suggestions on a used amp or new. $2000/ budget
Hello everyone, I've recently purchased a Emotiva XMC-1 Pre Amp, Paradigm S6's and the matching center (C5 v.3). I currently own a Emotiva LPA-1 amp. After getting my system set up, I feel that the LPA-1 isn't giving me the feed back and detail I want and might be lacking in power. So, that being said, I'm looking for suggestions on what amp would push these speakers and give me the sound quality I'm looking for. I'm a movie guy first and music second. But as I get older, I'm leaning more towards music. I'm currently looking at an older Aragon 4004 or 8008. I've heard great things about these amps and I'm considering purchasing one or both. I'm open to all suggestions, used or new. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
