Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail


Can some one help me in the right direction. Im going to spend like 20" for speaker and amp.

Im looking for a detailed, dynamic, warm, romantic sound. I like the midrange sound of piano, strings and female voices.
Im listen to all music like rock, power balads, country and some modern music. i dont listen to jazz and classic.
Im using tidal and spotify from pc usb.


Started with Hegel H360 to B&W cm10 missed dynamics and warmth.
Upgraded to Mcintosh MC501 and D150 to B&W cm10 ok combo but was missing detail from hegel.
Upgraded to Mcintosh MC501 and c2600 to B&W cm10 missing the speed in the bass from D150 (best combo so far)
Changed to the new Hegel H590 to B&W cm10 did loose all the romantic sound and dynamics and it sounds like the female singer stands in the background =(

I also have a SVS SB16 for the times i listen to modern music.

How would a SS pre and tube amp sound? Do i get the romantic, warm and dynamic sound and the speed to the sub?


What integrated or pre&amp do you recomend? ant to what speaker?

The new KEF R series and Sonus Faber Sonettos come to mind when you say "romantic". Obviously I haven't listened to every speaker manufacturer in the history of the world, but these two are the most recent that I think may fit the bill. At least in my experience and idea of a "romantic" sound.

As others have said, everything adds up to a sum result. Your amp choice will be important. Your interconnects will matter. Your source material will matter. Even your room will matter. I'd take a good long listen to tube vs. solid state. Both can sound romantic and warm. Just depends on the manufacturer. 

Do you have a selection of songs that you know well and know how you want them to sound? Obviously, I'd bring those with me to the hi-fi shop.

Keep in mind, what sounds romantic to you, may sound completely different to someone else. I wouldn't limit yourself to thinking digital can't have the sound you want (as suggested by some). I used to bartend and I can promise you some people's idea of romance can be drastically different than others. Some couples show up for a candle lit dinner, while others do a bunch of cocaine in the bathroom then try to run out on the bill. Ah, romance!
I just watched a review on your Hegel H590 and it looks like a nice unit. Maybe it’s your speakers and agree ProAc’s might be a good choice but I’d stop for a minute and ask have you done any room treatment? On the Darko YouTube review in the background he uses Vicoustic panels which I use too and can say from owning these that if you haven’t worked on your room you are wasting your time and money. Also I question how good your PC is as a streamer. I’d suggest room treatment then streamer.
It sounds as though OP really wants vinyl going thru tubes. That's the sound I'm hearing him describe. Can't see how digital will get there.


While I mostly agree, in regards to digital .. it depends. A nice R2R multibit NOS DAC would likely be a nice choice. Border Patrol? MHDT Lab Orchid? 
It sounds like the DAC in the Hegel is no slouch. I totally agree today’s DAC’s can easily compete with analog and a lot more convenient.  Would have to know a lot more about the OP, PC, but I’d be surprised if it’s up to par with a really good streamer which will likely give you more cable options as well.

Back to my previous post on room treatment; I think far too many people ignore their room and are never happy with their gear and are always on the merry go round and changing out stuff. I know I played that game for years myself until I tried it and now I’m blown away how my system or room sounds now.
