OP I would suggest that the Bryston/Focal combo is going to be as harsh as it gets. I would change one thing at time, and see how you like the results. Luxman or Accuphase integrated will get you the meters you like with far better results. Luxman does have headphone jack also.
As for speakers if I was looking for a 180 degree shift from Focal in a bigger brand I would look at SF and Wilson, maybe Magico if budget allows. I would like to hear Harbeth in this scenario also.
Looking for Speaker Recommendations
Hi,
I am getting a new system and am looking for speaker recommendations. I will have a ma8950 and will, at least initially, be streaming exclusively. Focal and B & W are too bright and fatiguing. Wilson SabrinaX are good except for the price. Any thoughts? Thanks.

My two favorite affordable systems at AXPONA this year are highly recommended for the OP- 1) The new Luxman 507Z amplifier paired with Harbeth M30.2 XD speakers. Wow what a smooth luxurious high end sound ! 2) For something with more snap the Audio Note system with Cobra integrated amp and AN-E D Hemp speakers was outstanding.

Agree with @bfleetwood. Ordered my own pair of Volti Razz a couple weeks ago. I cannot wait! |
