Another vote for room treatment. I was very surprised at the improved resolution room treatment provided. I would put acoustic panels ahead of any new equipment purchase and even ahead of optimizing speaker placement since acoustic panels could well alter your optimum speaker placement. I called GIK Acoustics and also emailed them a diagram of my room. Their technical people were very helpful. I ended up buying 2 corner soffits, 2 bass traps (for wall behind speakers) and 4 regular acoustic panels for side walls. These made a very enjoyable difference. Good luck to you.
Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT
Hello, my third attempt in 3 days to get this thread started. My system sounds a little smeared when playing complex musical passages, I'd like to have more detail and separation. Consider the sound of a full orchestra or even the crescendos in the works of Explosions in the Sky. I blame either the pre-amp or amp for this. Seeking suggestions for upgrades in these areas.
Pre-amp: Halo P5, McCormack RLD-1, ??? (must have remote)
amp: Parasound A-21, Odyssey Stratos, ???
Check out my system link and let me know what you think.
