Sorry to hear about the tinnitus.Ive had it for years,,seems to be worse at times.Ive heard that certain medications can make it worse.I usually only notice it if the room is very quiet.Welcome to computer audio! Pretty happy with mine.Hard to go wrong with the MAs.Talked to a fellow online that had them ,powered with Acuphase,and was very happy!
When I started my first system,I listened to many speakers in the price range of the MAs.The MAs sounded better than other brands I heard.I bought Paradigm because the dealer dropped the price.I later regreted that choice as the MAs were the better sounding speakers.The Paradigm tweeters drove me nuts!The MAs were much easier on the ears.Live and learn.The MAs are very good for the price,very well balanced IMO.Unless you are going to spend at least 3x more,you might be making a sideways move.Wise decision to keep them for a while,,,IMO. A DAC might make a nice upgrade.If you buy one new,you could get one with a return policy in case you are not happy .I bought a used Bel Canto DAC2 and am still happy I did.
