to me it screams that you have don't have speakers that stand out, just 3 pairs in similar range.
I would sell two pairs and upgrade.
Need advice from the gurus.
This is my favorite HIFI hang out and I'm at a bit of a crossroads and really could use some advice. I'm a bit scattered and I could use some help figuring out what direction to go in. Here's my current equipment:
==Electronics==
Gato Audio AMP-150 AE (integrated amp)
Topping E70 Velvet DAC
iFi Zen Stream (I use Tidal)
Cherry Maraschino monos (not using at the moment, I don't have a preamp)
==Speakers==
Magnepan LRS+
Kef R3
Monitor Audio GS20 (vintage speakers from my father)
Omega Super 3 High Output Wide Baffle XRS towers
Lately I've been running the LRS+ with the Gato integrated and Topping Velvet / iFi stream combo. I like it but I don't know if I'm missing out. What would you do if you had my equipment and wanted to simplify? On my hifi setup I listen to mostly mellow stuff, lots of female vocals, classic rock, ambient stuff. I really like female vocals and midrange with a lot of texture if that makes any sense. What would you do different if anything? Thanks!

@tubeguy76 - The Gato integrated has both Balanced and RCA outs. Have you tried using the Gato as a preamp with the Cherry Maraschimo monos? |
