Help -- my system is too bright


Recently, I upgraded my amplifier to a Krell FPB 350 MCX. I am getting amazing detail and clarity, bass is
tight and extended. I turned off my sub-woofer. The highs are also extended, but now my system seems to have a bright edge at the very top and is slightly fatiguing. Anybody else have this type of problem? What did you do about it?

Noble -- thanks for the suggestion. Have you heard the
Ayre? How does it compare with, say, the Audio Aeros,
Naims, and Tri-vistas of the world? Tell me what you
like about it.
WVick --

I'm curious. Did you do anything to clean up your AC?

I have ordered a BP-3.5 from Balanced Power Technologies
and I am dying to see what kind of difference this makes.

I will post a review after I get it in my system, which
will take a few weeks.

I love my speakers, but I have also auditioned the
Watt/Puppy 7's and loved them. I can imagine how
the Krells and WP 7's would make a great pairing.

I have not heard the WP 6's, but I keep an eye on the
Wilson page for a deal on a pair. I'm not ready to spring
for the price of new WP 7's, but for the price of a
used pair of 6's, I may just have to get a pair into
my system and play with 'em.

How close are the 6's to the 7's?

Also, how long did it take to burn in your Krells?
Rsbeck, I am not using any power conditioner but I did install 2 dedicated 20A outlets for the amps. I may add a power conditioner for the pre amp and cpd but I do not plan to add anything for the amps.

Wilson Audio and Krell are a classic match. The WP 6's are great speakers and I planned to get a pair until I listened to the 7's. The 7's are a bit smoother, more refined and musical from top to bottom. I could have lived with the 6's but I knew this was going to be my last speaker purchase for a long time so I went for the 7's. I am very happy with them. There is a very good reveiw on the 7's here: http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/wilson_watt_puppy7.htm

I don't really know how long it took to burn the amps in. They seem to get better as time goes on. They have been in my system for 8 months and I have made several changes along the way. With the exception of the cdp, I don't plan on making any more equipment changes. Hope this helps.
