Description

System evolving such that it bears no resemblance to my system the last time I updated it.

Strengths - transparency, resolution, soundstage.
Weaknesses - almost square room, dealt with mostly by use of DBA.

Rooze,What is your B.I.L useing for a poweramp,preamp.Actually im pretty happy with my 100s,i just cant help wondering about other speakers.Since hearing the Audio Analysis speakers i cant stop thinking about how realistic and seamless they sounded,,Ray

raytheprinter

Rooze,I recently heard a pair of Analysis audios that are suppose to be a copy of the Apogees,but easier to drive,first speakers ive heard in quite a while that had my jaw hitting the floor!So real,seemed to do everything right,,,made me forget about box speakers!!!Just got a pr. of Purist Audio Musaeus ICs that realy works well from amp to preamp!Peace,Ray

Hello Rooze,Do you have any idea to which tube amp you might try?I think ive been lucky in the fact that all the upgrades ive made since i started on this journey a couple years ago,have brought me closer to the ideal sound that i hear in my head! I think one day ill upgrade my Paradigm 100V2s,but im not in a big hurry to do so,as they sound very good since upgrading the rest of my system,im thinking of running a dedicated line soon,and trying some lead shot in bottom of my speaker cabs,,,fooling around with more room treatments,also the addition of digital seperates has REALLY improved the sound to the point that i dont feel the need to buy any more SACDs,,,and my ozzy preamp,,is the soul of my system!!!Im enjoying music more than ever!Thanks,Ray

raytheprinter

Hello Rooze,Are you still happy with the Simaudio?Plenty of power!!! I think im going to try a noisehound soon!I went with seperates on my digital,,,much better sound,are you still considering room treatments?Ray

raytheprinter

hello Rooze,have you given any more thought on room treatments?i just built a pr. of side wall absorber panels with good results,good bang for the buck!maybe treating area behind your speakers would be a good starting point,how is the bass in your room? cheers
