My goal is to obtain a realistic soundstage (very large, very high and deep) but, even more, the possibility to reach emotion when I listen to music. Kharma loudspeakers are my last upgrade and they gave me a lot of things in the way I was looking for. My ambient is dedicated to my system and mesures 7x5x2.8 mt.: the sound is correct without any particular treatment.
Your system looks fantastic Luigi! Have you tried feeding the MCD201 directly into the MC252 amp? If I remember correctly, the MCD201 has a volume control and was designed to bypass the preamp. Let me know how your system sounds with and without the C2200. Thanks and enjoy the music!
