what do I change or upgrade?


I listen to a lot of choral music. When turned up, the sound is somewhat smeared and veiled. I am using Spendor S8e speakers, a Lector CDP 7T mark II, an LFD Mistral LE amp and audience interconnects, speaker cables, and power cords. I want more clarity and presence when the volume is turned up to decent levels ( NOT ear splitting)I'm not concerned with deeper bass levels...Please advise.

Try toeing your speakers in such that they are pointing directly at you. If the problem is beaming or reflections, this should cure it.

If it doesn't, my take on your problem is that it is your CD player. The Lector is too soft and warm for your system. I would suggest you try something like an Audio Aero, Rega or Cayin.
