Meanwhile I found an old post on this site which states the following:
“Lush fullness in a stereo system is very volume dependent. As the volume goes up, fullness, palpable presence, and richness also goes up. So... to get that richness, you want to play louder.” ....
Any opinions?
I spent some time listening louder and find my current speakers have more of the sound qualities I’m looking for than I had given them credit for. I’m now thinking I need a dedicated room more than new speakers in order to keep peace in our very open two person household. Of course that’s a huge investment I’ll need to consider for a while. I would enjoy this hobby a lot more with a secluded space that wouldn’t disturb other parts of the house.
