Just back from Nuevo Laredo?
This is what I already have
Guys, I thank all of you for the answers you gave me in my other two threads. I am looking for a better sound with my limited budget and want some ideas.
What I already have are Paradigm Studio 100 V2 speakers, Monitor Audio Silver S2 bookshelves and B&W DM 602 s2 large bookshelves. CD player is an NAD C-521 and my amplifiers are vintage Sansui AU-517, and G-5700 Receiver. Cables are Straight Wire. I also have a Monster Cable power supply with 3 step filter. I have owned some NAD and Rotel amplifiers that were sold because the old Sansui sound better, IMO. The reason because I keep those Sansui is because I haven't found anything in the entry level range that sound better than those Sansui. I use the Studio 100 for HT with a Yamaha Receiver. So, My two channel system is the Sansui 517, Nad 521, and the Monitor Audio Silver S2. For some reason, I don't find the B&W DM 602 S2 sound good with the Sansui old amplifiers.So, I want to create another system where I can enjoy the B&W. I will need another CD player, Pre/Power , or an integrated. I am thinking in tube gears for the amplification because I can not afford ultra hi-end gear and I know the entry level stuff won't match the quality of those Sansui amplifiers. I don't know what was the Sansui's secret but those made from 1970/80 are probably the best japanese stuff I have ever heard. Better than Luxman, Pioneer, Marantz, etc. There was a time where rich japanese people drove Lexus and only wanted Sansui equipments. Anyway, give me ideas to build a system for my B&W where I be close to the so called Hi-end sound. I forgot, I listen to mainly light rock, pop such as Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Styx, Supertramp, you know, like that.!
Thanks to all you for be so great advising.
