Amps and pre amps to improve on VMPS RM40 system
I have VMPS RM 40 speakers with a wadia 21 cd player, Classe cav-150 multi channel power amp. Interconnects are Audio Magic and speaker cables are Home grown audio.
When I listen to music which represents just a vocal, or just 1 instrument the system sounds great. Once the music gets more complex i.e. classical symphony or full on Led Zeppelin, the sound just becomes a cacaphony. Messy, unclear, no separation left, harsh, metalic and unpleasant. I want to upgrade my system but don't know where to start. Should I get a pre amp (tube or ss) should I get a better power amp. I don't want to change the speakers nor the cd player. I am tempted to get a BAT VK30SE pre amp and Conrad Johnson 12 power amp. Anybody with any thoughts?
