So I've been reading up on your amplifier.On paper it should provide excellent low volume listening..One thing comes to mind is that it's distortion levels are non existent & the amp may come off as very dry sounding,which is not a good match either with the Paradigms,add in the hard acoustics & IMO you have a sonic disaster.With your DAC/Amp & Acoustics I would really really look at something like the Fritz or something from Sonus Faber..You certainly need a speaker on the rich/warm side of neutral in your situation...
Want to Upgrade Speakers from Paradigm
I have had my Paradigm Signature 6 version 3's since 2012 and I am getting the upgrade bug. The honest main motivation is I am tired of their looks: outrigger feet; the gray plates; cherry veneer. I do like their slim low profile. I am pretty happy with the sound but I am sure they are not the end all of speakers. I spent $6K for them and adjusted for inflation, that is about $7.2K today. However, I believe high end audio does not follow inflation and increases at a much higher rate. So my question is how much in your opinion would I need to spend today to better the sound. I really like the looks of the Sonus Fabers such as the Olympica Nova 3 which retail at $13,500. How would my Paradigms compare to them or maybe Revels?
Thank you!
Rest of my equipment is Benchmark DAC3 and AHB2 amp with Macbook as streamer.
