I appreciate your comments. You are correct that I didn’t articulate what I am seeking to improve. I suppose like many in this hobby I am always curious about what might be “better” knowing that is a hard to define term. Obviously I could “do better” with every component I have were I willing to spend the money. That is not what I am seeking. I am more interested if advances in technology and design over the past few years make it possible to achieve an equal or more satisfying sound without simply spending more for a component than I did the last time. Is there a possibility of getting more for less? Also I thought if I described what I have and the types of music I listen to that people might have recommendations along the lines of “if you like that you might explore this”.
I have loved music my entire life but it has only been in the last couple of years that I have put together a system that really opened up what is possible in terms of achieving a moving and engaging experience. So in many ways I am still a newbie and I don’t know what I don’t know. My question about stand mounted speakers vs floor standers reflects that. I had always assumed that the best sound comes from floor standing speakers but have started to realize that maybe a combination of stand mounted (or simply smaller) speakers and subs might achieve a nice result.
Anyway thanks again for your comments. I really enjoy the search and discovery aspect of this hobby so your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
