What does 'modified' mean? Could the mod be causing the brightness?
My speakers are “modified” Monitor Audio Studios. They are “bright”
Opinions on system replacement
Looking for some friendly input.
In a nutshell: I am considering selling my Peachtree Audio Nova 150 based system and buying a Marantz PM8006 Integrated, and a ND8006 cd/ streamer.
In addition to the Nova 150 I would also sell my Rotel 1072 CD player and Node2 streamer. I will keep my Rega P3, an old Denon cassette, and Sennheiser headphones.
My speakers are “modified” Monitor Audio Studios. They are “bright” and I think too bright for my Nova.
I know the Marantz are not the end all be all system for everyone. I do like the warm Marantz sound I have heard, and think they would be a better match for my speakers. I am in my mid 60’s and my hearing while good is not what it used to be.
The Marantz components retail for $1500 each, and can be found for +- $1k being used/refurb or thru discount dealers. These two components make a nice clean package which appeals to me.
I don’t love my speakers and will consider replacing them at some point and had originally considered replacing them first. My listening room is small- 10’x11’.
As I said before I’m just looking for some input.
