I'm trying to decide where to upgrade next. Thoughts are a new amp and speakers What I would like is a sound that opens up the dynamics at a lower volume and where the speakers really disappear I like the sound of my system - it does sound good - and often very good - but I live in a condo and when my daughter gets off the train late at night, opens the door and says: DAD I can hear Miles Davis down the street....LOL...I need to change something Amps? where to head for a real upgrade? Speakers? I'm been researching Dyna Audio but don't know enough A little history At the beginning of the year, without any warning and not even on my radar, I put together a system. It started with a pair of B&W 305's a friend was selling. They spent a month or two hooked up to 1970's JVC college gear and an old Dual deck/ Shure cart. Then I bought some other things..... My current system is as follows: Rogue CM1 EAR 834P MM/MC phono stage Nottingham 294 Space Deck and 12" Anna Arm Lyra Delos Cart Totem Hawk Speakers It fairly sings I won't mention the digital side - it's decent but all up for a massive upgrade. Thanks for any reccomendations
As for Dynaudio speakers (keep in mind speakers are a very relative thing) I discovered long ago that was the sound for me. I have auditioned/owned so many over the years but once I heard that sweet Dynaudio sound I knew immediately that was it. I also have DALI and Monitor Audio in a smaller bedroom and living room setup and they are also great speakers but for me nothing can reproduce the detail and soundstage of the Dynaudio's. With that said although they sound great at lower volumes I really find to get the best out of them they love power and volume. In fact honestly that was the driving force in selling my condo and buying a home, because I just needed to be able to put the pedal to the floor and let the Danes open up and fill the entire place with that magical sound of theirs :)
I currently have Dynaudio Evoke 50's, 25C and 10's being driven by a Simaudio HT200 5 channel Titan amp and for me it can't get any better...
Your whole system is up for grabs or any part of it. We have no idea what kind of sound you like. If I think the Bigwatt is a wonderful amp, what use is it to you to know that?
