Rooms play a towering difference compared to electronics.
Try putting system A in room B.
I spend more time listening to my system B than A (but it shares room A.)
I can enjoy system E (outdoors) just fine.
speakers/ amps liking one another
Good morning all. Looking for some guidance. I appreciate all that have helped in the past.
I listened yesterday to a secondary 2 channel music only. Seemed very disappointing. My primary system has spoiled me. Primary system, following: ATI 6000 2 channel amp, Benchmark LA-4 Line amp, Meitner MA-1 DAC, Project RS2T transport and LTA Linear power supply, SVS SB 4000 Sub, Tekton upgraded Double Impacts. Also streaming Qobuz. In a very large area, listen to only R&R loudly. System is to Die for.
Second system is composed of Peachtree Amp 500, and Peachtree PreDac (preamp) audiolab 6000 transport, Benchmark Dac 3B, Focal Aria 948's. 2 channel system only, music. Much smaller room 13x13' Did the speaker placement job a while ago. Note: Focal says speaker can dip to 2.5 ohm's?
I believe my weak link is the Amp and preamp combo (Class D) Looking for used recommendations for SS amp class A/B or A that has some real CLASS power to it. I'll deal with a preamp to add to the amp a little later. Use the present preamp until I can afford a better one. 2 or 3K, give or take some. Any help would be great. Robert TN
