need advise, which is the weakest link in my audio chain


Hi all, i am new here and this is my first post.

need some opinion and advise, which gear do you think is the weakest link that i should improve/change.

i wish to have sweet sound and detail but not fatiguing

my experience on current setup not really meet my preference  :-

- a bit forward sound 

- sometime may a little dry/harsh sounding when source recording is poor

- lack of sweet top end

pre amp - bryston bp6

power amp - lexicon nt-212 (same as bryston 3bst)

speaker - spendor sp1 

cd player - marantz cd6006

dac - rega dac

tuner - yamaha t1 & sony st-sa5es

sorry for my poor english.

thank you.

Perhaps a corner set up would work better than the standard set up. Have you tried it? Good luck ! 

@nagasakti70 just curious how thick are the absorption panels. You mentioned the sound becomes dull when you place the absorbers on the side walls. Also what is the material used in the panels? If it’s foam it would explain the effect. With quality absorption on side walls you should hear more focus and details in the soundstage. So something is off…
