"You got mud?"
System Upgrade
Leben CS600; Harbeth Plus 5s; PS Audio with Bridge II linked via Blue Heaven USB; Chord Clearway interconnects and speaker cables (not bi-wired).
Sounds good but "flat" and I find myself having to turn up the volume almost halfway to get any "presence".
What am I missing, if anything?
Than you.

Not sure which PS Audio, but trying different filters, along with the volume control is a thought. For kicks, do you have a local guitar center? go pick up one of the inexpensive or a couple of the inexpensive crown pro amps. See what a crap-ton of power does for them. You likely won't be keeping the crowns, but GC has a liberal return policy. Just for kicks, see what some serious cheap, but powerful class D does with them. Probably hard to find an amp more different than your Leben (seriously) a quick and dirty way to find out if it's an amp/power issue. If they still sound flat... think room, or frankly maybe they just aren't the speaker for you. (I'm not claiming the crowns will sound good... but it should/will address if a radically different amp changes the sound) |
Sounds good but "flat"... Coincidental word game, but Leben website proudly claims... "FLAT and wide frequency response" How old is that model? They also say it is "capable for future digital audio format such as SACD/HDCD." https://lebenhifi.com/products/cs600.html |
