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.

If you like bass, your $2500 budget will buy you lifetime state of the art bass. Go to Parts Express, buy the Dayton SA-1000 sub amp, and four sub kits, all on sale now. Its what I did, and it was more than good enough for me. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367#&gid=1&pid=8
Since this is new and you will not have heard of it before do a search and read up on DBA, distributed bass array, comments from noble100 and audiokinesis. Totally the way to go.
