My Sonic Saga

While back brought B&W CM9s, Peachtree Nova Amp 220 and Nova Pre – preamp.

From the very beginning wasn’t happy with the sound – even though overall the systems sounds alright (maybe) – realized I like bright (tweeters perhaps) and good base as well. 

Some point in time the tweeter blew up and had to be replaced – but still never like the sound from the CM9s.

Have now moved into a new house and have a room that is 28x29 and 18 ft ceiling – and (re)considering my options!

 

Should I add a base, should I replace my speakers – what would you consider as bright speakers

My replacement budget is around $2500 for speakers (used is fine as well).

 

Music I listen to is Classic Rock – Floyd, zep to AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Jazz (starting to get into it quite a bit), world music (love east and west fusion)

Also looking forward to getting into vinyl at some point – the Peachtree novapre preamplier is good that way – allows me to add quite a few sources – inbuilt dac, etc

Love to hear your thoughts and thanks for your help.

Thank you all for your suggestions - would not mind suggestions for the amp/pre-amp as well.
Or are you folks suggesting i keep my Peachtree combo for now.

Would love to hear systems - but not possible during this period for sure 
In terms of speakers also have to worry about WAF - heard a lot about Tekton DI - that looks beastly to me.

Also detailed treble is much better articulation than bright treble - thanks.
Also since i was streaming my music from laptop I was able to change the EQ a bit but not sure if its the same - did make a difference though.

Sometime i feel bookshelf speakers with 2 sub woofers is not a bad way so you can get bass as well as good top end and mid range. 

Guess this journey continues!
