Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!

Well hopefully you like and enjoy the music as well as the performance of your speakers.  I will say when you actually hear a real high end set of speakers you will be amazed how much more livley and open the sound can be !!! I know the paradigm line and it is very good some of it I would recommend over bnws in the same price range but still fairly restricted in comparison to super high end stuff.  What kind of equipment are you using for amplification ?

   I have paired them with a few amps - Outlaw, Onkyo Integra M-504 power amp with NAD pre, Quad 405-2 with it's pre.

   I have $16,000 speakers as main, and was still blown away by the detail and pleasant transparency of tweeter, as well as hint of liquid sound of upscale piece...

   As many have pointed out, I do enjoy music more when I am also listening to hifi system - it's magic to me. Perhaps I phrased it wrong when I said I don't listen to music but speakers...sorry about that.

   Someone asked me about the CD player - it's actually an upscale Sony ES DVD/SACD changer NC555ES. I was streaming Amazon Music through my TV on an Outlaw receiver - the sound was nothing to write home about...I heard that Amazon is adding hi-resolution streaming upgrade - then it might be better. Can I add a DAC to through optical or HDMI out from TV to get better sound? Please enlighten me on this one, because I love streaming!

   When I added the Sony DVD/SACD player, the improvement was dramatic! I was so happy with what my speakers were capable of, so I found my self just enjoying the sound of my system...

   I have a nice turntable and SACD is very close to it's sound in detail...I am a believer in SACD and high resolution music files now.

   Thanks for asking and Happy thanksgiving everyone - happy listening to all...



   

Just a guess that the OP is not a native English speaker and if that’s the case then cut him some slack on his wording. We basically know what he meant which is something like I was blown away by the cost/performance of these two speakers and all I could hear was beautiful music coming from them. But this brings up what is so problematic about using words to discuss a musical experience. It will always be flawed in that one person’s point of view and language will always be slightly different then the next. Take for example the latest discussion, listening to equipment vs listening to music. We all know that we listen to sound and sound only so how do we describe isolating components or particulars of sound itself. An amp on its own can’t create sound and so on to all of the broken up components involved in sound recreation. We are all attempting in our own way to use our language skills to describe something that doesn’t even require language. There are no instructions to listening. You are either listening or you aren’t. If you are using words you are using them as a separate function of your mind but we all want and are trying to say something about what we are experiencing. So why not just allow everyone to struggle in their own imperfect way to do something that is in itself a creative act separate from the music. 

Todd , you are exactly right,+1.

My electronics are 30 years old, except for the CD player,  and my speakers 20.  I still have my 38 year old B&W's, but I rarely listen to them.  I do listen to music.  Doing it wrong means to nerd out and only listen to the equipment, rather than  music.  At first, the disease is inevitable, but good music the cure.
