Sound is too big for my room.
Actually the amp presents the image as being behind the speakers and since Im in a small room I cant pull the speakers out further out into the room. This results in a sort of incomplete sound. Ive switched over to my old amp and everything is mor... 
Sound is too big for my room.
To give you guys a little more info. There is no soundstage depth only width. The sound is not as coherent as with my little integrated. I dont know how else to describe it. 
Sound is too big for my room.
Thanks for the advice Nutella but the system is in my bedroom and Ive done so much rearranging there its nuts. I do have curtains and Ive hung heavy tapestries behind me to absorb sound. It has worked but this amp seems to image behind the speaker... 
Sound is too big for my room.
No Im trying to get satisfying sound on the cheap so no expensive room correction. Im just trying to find either the right speaker for the Arcam A65plus or the right amp for the JM Lab Chorus 706. 
Sound is too big for my room.
At a low volume I dont get the same slam and detail in my music. I need that to get into the groove. The Arcam did provide that slam at around 10 o'clock on the volume knob but it also sometimes hard harsh highs. Those are my tradeoffs.

Good preamp for under $300
I just got a used PS Audio 4.5 preamp for $220 on ebay. There is a 5.0 on ebay right now for about $150 and the auction ends today I think. So far Im very impressed with this pre going with my B&K ST-140. Very warm sound with an almost live pe... 
Impedance mismatches between pre and amp do this?
I received my PS Audio 4.5 pre yesterday and hooked it up to my B&K ST-140. All connections were made with Synergistic Alpha X ics and speaker cable. The sound in Straightwirde mode is very clean and smooth with good presence. The bass is tigh... 
Impedance mismatches between pre and amp do this?
Im not sure if it is but someone else on another board said it was. Do those numbers coincide with a passives ouput? Im taking it with a grain of salt but who knows? Anyway Im anxiously awaiting my PS Audio 4.5 preamp. Ill let you guys know how ev... 
Impedance mismatches between pre and amp do this?
Thanks for the help guys! Im one day closer to finding out. From the specs you quoted and the sound Im getting it sounds like a mismatch. Someone on another board suggested the Arcam was running in passive mode and it sucked as a preamp. I guess t...
