| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) Fellow drummer here. I know exactly what you’re talking about with regard to impact and weight. IME cone drivers are better able to convey the density, thrust, etc. that I feel when sitting behind a kit. Stats and ribbons sound great, but to my ea... | |
| Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) GoldenEar Triton Three or Silverline Prelude Plus are in your price range new and may be worth considering. | |
| Integrated recommendation help What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? What are you currently using or what other integrateds have you heard? | |
| Upgrade path It seems like you're overall happy with the sound you're getting but just looking to augment the bottom end a bit. That seems to be common with your speakers and what the SC4a may have addressed. I doubt spending $4k on speakers, amp, or pre is ... | |
| I hate when this happens ...... As others have alluded to above, you listened to the Martens on their home turf hooked up to a system designed specifically for them. That said, it does seem that the system may have uncovered that you may desire a little more detail than you're ... | |

| power amplifier suggestions with BelCanto Dac3 What don't you like about the Bryston and what sound reproduction characteristics are most important to you? Great DAC by the way. If there's any way to upgrade to the VBS do it. The difference between stock and VB is not small. | |
| Speaker choice : need help between Nola and Sonus Faber Another option that images very well, is tube friendly, and probably slots somewhere between Nola and Totem in terms of treble detail is the Silverline Prelude Plus. Not that it should mean much to you, but given your preferences (which seem simi... | |
| Speaker choice : need help between Nola and Sonus Faber It would be helpful to know what speakers you've heard so we have a relative reference for making recommendations. That said, I've heard several Nola models and had the Venere 2.5s in my system on demo, which I'd assume have a similar sonic signa... | |
| Reference 3A or Mark & Daniel or... Another de Capo fan here. In that range I'd also try to audition Joseph Audio's new Prism monitor. Best of luck. | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement Did you mention what interconnects and cables you're using? They can often improve upon the areas you're targeting. |
