New speakers and excessive midrange


Got a new system together consisting of:

Linn Kremlin Tuner
Linn Genki CD
Dared VP-300B SET Monoblocks
Dared SL-2000 Preamp
Omega Grande 6R Speakers

System sounds OK, but there seems to be excessive midrange. Could this be a room problem or are the Omega's not fully broken in yet? Louis of Omega did some of the break-in for me (he's a great guy to buy speakers from, BTW - great customer service). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think you'll find they get better every day. I've only had a few fostex based spks and their spls measured increasingly higher starting from around 2k up to around 5k. With that emphasis, and your suspension not yet loosened up, you will indeed hear an excessive mid. Play some music with lots of bass in it loud and that will speed things up. Is a sub in your budget? That would help mask some of what your hearing now and still fill in the bottom octave when you have arrived. Good luck.
