May you help speakers amps

Great ideas. Hardwood floors. Sure, I have some thick marble slabs, perhaps 4 inch. I’ll get them cut to bring the Maggies up. The sound pressure meter is up. My buddy has a frequency generator.  My music is only streaming and the iphone controls volume so still not sure about adding a pre-amp. I don’t need to switch to another source or use a volume control. I set my volume on my iphone to be at max when I use the amps that have adjustable pots like the McIntosh. You guys are giving me some great ideas. Thanks. 

So plot a range of spl’d vs frequencies at the optimal listening point and see if there are any areas falling down on the graph, eh 

Music timber is probably the best word to describe the loss to you guys

Bluetooth and Spotify / Pandora are probably the major culprits for the lack of detail. You have a very resolving system but the source can’t provide the detail your system can provide.

Try the free Qobuz trial and see if that helps.

Danager, u hit the nail on the head!!

I signed up Qobuz hihest quality. I switched between this and Pandora. David Gray, Please Forgive me, there is a bell that has a ringing harmonic on Q but not P. The mid-base is punchy and I can feel the spl as a push of sound wave (like a sub). I like mid-base punch. I had to turn the Maggies down because that extra punch caused the left speaker to distort when the music punched. The left speaker buzzes at moderate volumes. This is at the top center of the mylar. It stops if I touch that one part of the mylar. Not sure if mylar separation is common or how to fix it.  Can’t listen to them when it is doing this. 
 

Pulling  the speakers from 2 ft to 4 ft added a fullness to the recording studio. 
I can hear the squeak in the guitar strings when the musician moves his fingers. 
The voice is clear and crisp but lacks breathiness. That might just be the quality of the recording. I can still feel like I am listening to David Gray through an amplifier and speaker. Even if I was in a 200 person venue I still am still very aware I am listening to “Peavy band” speakers and not to the breathiness and clarity as if he was in front of me. 
On another piano artist I like I also feel like I am listening to the piano amplified through a set of band speakers just off the stage where the pianist is playing through concert speakers. 
Overall, it is 1,000x better and probably as good as it has ever sounded. I just wish i could get that breathiness into the vocals and beyond the feeling I was listening to concert speakers and more like a real person. 
Thank you.
