I like NAD integrated amps for budget systems. There are plenty of used units to choose from. As for speakers, if you keep your sub, I suggest staying with bookshelves because they are more fexible. Look at NHT (super zeros) or Usher's. They seem to match well with subs. Also, dont forget to use good cables and speaker wire, which can help tame bright highs. Also, check the input level of your sub-you might be able to turn it down to prevent booming and obscuring the mids. If you are still suffering from bright highs, perhaps you should look into getting a turntable because budget cd players have a reputation for being bright. Cheers.
Looking to upgrade my setup.
Hi y'all! I'm pretty much a rookie when it comes to high end audio. As a musician my ears are pretty tuned but I only recently have gained appreciation to potentials of audio systems. Currently I'm running a pair of Energy cb-20 bookshelves through an entry level Denon reciever. I also have an m and k double 12" sub. The problem I have with it is that the highs seem rather harsh and it is lacking mid bass. I'm hoping to get a system with smoother highs and more punch an the snares and kick drums. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as a new amp and speakers? I really like the sub so I'd like something that wont be drowned out by the m&k beast. Thanks!
