Underpowered?
Try moving the loudspeakers around the room.  There might be a location where they lock-in better.

It’s all a matter of degree
The tweaking process is the absolute heart of being an audiophile.  To me tweaking is paying attention to the details of your system and room setup.  If you adjust your loudspeaker/listener distance to the fraction of an inch, then you are tweakin... 
It's Great Having So Many Choices (?)
The illusion of freedom is mesmerizing.  All those choices that can be researched, sampled, rejected and categorized.  And then you can make a decision.  You can purchase the best toothpaste for you. 57 channels and nothings on  
Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck

So when my dog is wagging his tail does it effect the music waveform?  
Where next from gamut d200i?
It's my opinion that a top flight preamp could improve the sound of your already excellent system.  I see that you are using CDs as your source, so have you considered a streaming device.  You could go with either a stand alone unit or one built i... 
Can Anybody Give An Example Of?
Manfred Mann did a cover version.  IMO a fine version, but the problem with Manfred and Bruce is that Bruce says deuce and Manfred says douche.  But that's another song. DeKay, I wasn't thinking of that, but it makes sense.  They would definite t... 
Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption
For some people it always ends up with god, not just any god, but their GOD.  God seems to be an answer, but maybe it's just an endless series of questions... I think therefore I think I think.  
Recommendations Wanted
Some recorded music, when properly reproduced, will make the loudspeakers disappear and generate a convincing facsimile of the original recording space, but other records cannot.  It has to do with how the music was recorded and your system will n...
