Even at the very top of the market, it seems that manufacturers, while they always claim to be shooting for "neutrality"-- and may in fact be doing so-- nevertheless design to perfect their "house sound." The result can frequently be too much of a good thing, and it always seems that after I have fallen in love with one company's components, and have a full suite of them, substituting one of someone else's line somehow contributes something that was missing, if it is a comparable product. If nothing else, it keeps the high end in funds.
PRE and AMPS same brand ? or different brand?
Is it better to buy let's say a Bryston pre amp and Bryston's amps than to mix companies like using a Classe pre and a bryston amp ?
I've heard few people in here talking about special synergy going in between same company products... i can easily think that a certain company designs all their products to be used together and work well together so this could in fact enhanced the sound reproduction quality of the equipment if they are all matched..
isn't that what people call a balanced system ?
what some are really trying to achieve, to have a system that works all well together ?
so it would be just simpler to listen, choose a company from wich u like the sound, and then buy the products line ?
i would like to have comments on that please..
thank you :)
