System needs more watts??


Folks

I've now enjoyed my system for about 2 years now, and starting to think about upgrading or adding to it. Any thoughts of what I should do to increase my listening experience?

I love my system right now, but feel that I need to turn up the volume a little more to get the full dynamics and "thickness" of each note/sound. Do you think the main reason is because I don't have enough wattage behind my BAT75SE?? I also heard that it could be my power cords? I heard they could make bigggg difference? Appreciate your thoughts/advice?

Thanks,

Current system:
Cary 303/100 CD player
Audible Illusions 3A preamp
BAT 75SE
Dali 800 MKII
Synergistic Research Galileo speaker cells
BASIK strings I/Cs

Hi, yes the 75SE can be monoblocked to 150SE's. It's pretty easy, you can buy an internal kits (requires just a little basic soldering or external jumpers from BAT.

I did this a few years ago (I did post if you maybe search...sorry I don't have the links handy). I was feeling like my BAT 75SE was running out of gas with my Wilson Watt Puppy 6 and 8's at the time. It was distorting...more the soundstage collapsed some and dynamics (exactly what you're saying)

The second one is a big deal...it's not just more power, but it's better power..these amps now running each side of the amp in a balanced mode, lowering the noise floor, increasing the dynamics...it's just better + a lot more power and current.

If you love your amps, this is a good route to go...My issue was I live in Tx and my room upstairs couldn't handle the heat output....so I moved to Ayre MXR's. (another possible idea)

Hope this helps, good luck, you have a great system !
