It might be as simple as you not having enough power for the paticular speakers that you are presently using. I myself have the same problem running my Martin?Logan SL-3 speakers with only 130 watts per channel from my Odyssey Khartago Extreme amplifier. Yes, playing it at a generous sound level they sound fabulous, but at lower volume levels they do not really come totally alive. Possibly it might be mainly the lack of low-base audio reproduction, possibly the midrange does not really come into focus until I turn up the sound level. Living in an apartment, or with others allso is a major factor for me. Anyway, until I can afford to save up for a more expensive, as well more costly amplifier I will just have to live with limitations. Actually presently my amplifier is the only part of my audio system which needs to be upgraded, so don't feel sorry for me. Actually Klaus does a major uprade on his Khartago amplifier for only $400, but I would be totally without an amp during the upgrade process.
Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT)
Hey Guys, I love my TREO CTs, but I feel like they don’t really start to shine until I crank up the volume to 85dBs or higher. I feel like the details are missing at lower volumes. I know I have a lot of acoustic issues in my space, but generally speaking, at what volumes do you guys listen to your system. Just to give you an idea of my system, I’m using an Ayre AX-5/20 integrated, Aurender N100H streamer, Denafrips Terminator DAC (also an Ayre Codex DAC), AQ Earth XLR cables and AQ GO4 double run bi-wire speaker cables. Any of you guys do low volume listening...like the when your family is a sleep. Any general tips to improve the low volume listening experience? I suspect I would benefit the most getting room treatments but it’s not an option for me at the moment sharing the living room. Thanks in advance.
Also, check out this link on youtube, it’s rare to see TREO CTs in videos on the web.
