I've been using a Rogue 99/88 combo with Meadowlark Shearwaters and a CAL-10 CD player and have been pretty happy. But I have caught the audiophile bug of tweeking and as an experiment I decided to hook up an old pair of JBL bookshelve speakers(model 2600)and was very surprised to notice more "presence" in the midrange and bass compared to the Shearwaters. Granted the sound of the Shearwaters was more refined over all and the bass a bit bloated with the JBLs but I loved the "presence" of the mid range and upper bass with the JBLs. I just felt this was a foot tapping kind of sound. I would like suggestions for a speaker with that foot tapping presence when used with the Rogue combo that won't have the bloated low end. I am using DH labs biwired speaker cable. Thanks for you input.
Are you saying that slightly elevated output in the lower mid / upper bass ( commonly called the "warmth" region ) added a sense of tempo or pace to your system ? Sean >
