| bright up "warm sound" speakers you might consider trying to borrow a different source altogether-a friends cd player, for instance. The warmth you are experiencing may be comming from some other influence in your system, so perhaps experimenting here would yield some insights-a... | |
| How do you clean your speaker grills? I have my cat do it. | |
| Warrenty and lifespan of cd players Thanks for the posts so far. I guess the reason I enquired is because I do listen to music a lot. I mean a lot a lot! My rotel had to be sent in for repairs the first year I had it, and then it took some time to rectify the problem. I think it is ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Krazeeyk- I think your suggestion to pick a target budget for your system and stick with it is wise. There is a lot of flexability within that structure, and I think being decided upon one or two guidelines in a new venture will relieve some of th... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? Our systems are similar. I have the 602s & Rotel RCD 951, and use Kimber Interconnects as well. In the first months of having the 602 I was plagued by that thin sound/lack of warmth you describe. I think I considered replacing my components to... | |

| Just for looks? I am inclined to think that it is how any given amp-regardless of design or appearence, matches with the speaker of your choice. Certain aspects of a amplifier may seem preferable on paper or by appearance, but the real telling is when you hear th... | |
| What am I missing out on here - Bi- wiring Speaker It really is a case of what you are gaining. If you have not tried biwiring yet you arent missing anything. The effect of biwiring on your speakers in your system only has as much value as you place on it. I know a lot of people who did not like t... | |
| Denon and Polk Combo I had a Denon reciever-avr 85, and Polk rt 55 speaker combo. I remember thinking that the overall sound was thin-insubstantial, and not very exciting.I felt I really had to crank the volume. Later, I used the same Polk speakers with a Denon integr... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? You are not only not the only one who thinks that B&W is mid-fi, you are one of many who make blanket statements about audio products from this or that company. Maybe just this company-B&W, in this case, but nonetheless a huge faction. |
