Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier?



I just changed integrated amplifiers on January 2, 2015. I went from an Audio Research DSi200 to a Simaudio 600i. I'm running a Lumin A1 Network Streamer and Dynaudio C1 speakers. Those haven't changed. I'm also in the same 10' x 12' room.

My setup sounds great when I'm outside of my room. When I walk in and sit down, my ears start ringing.

I don't think that the high frequencies are the problem. Is this too much bass energy in the room, too much sound pressure, or what do you think?

Does anyone have a suggestion on what's needed to correct this problem?

Thanks,

One end of your room needs to be dead. You may trying covering the wall behind your listening chair with some sound absorbing material after adjusting the rake angle of the speaker. One position is not ideal for all amp/speaker combinations. Try raising the front up a bit and see if the music changes.....better or worse....dial close, then room treat. PT
