thanks sbrents73, I thought maybe it was the peachtree that was the culprit of the harsh high mids but I tried it with some different speakers (at friends houses) and it didn't have that problem. I think its the speakers that are responsible for the sonic signature. I think I'd rather focus on the speaker part of the equation rather than getting a new amp (as cool as the Anthem might be)
Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F?
I've had a pair of Paradigm Prestige 75Fs for about 3 years now and I really like them. Great detail, soundstage, bass and they look fantastic too. However, I've always been irritated by the high midrange. It seems a little harsh and nasal to me. I listen to A LOT of jazz and I really notice it in saxophones. There is a lack of body and warmth to the sound of the instrument no matter who is playing it. It gets a little fatiguing especially at higher volumes
I'm wondering if folks have a recommendation of a speaker that retains the characteristics that I enjoy in the Paradigms but improve upon that upper midrange? I wouldn't mind recommendations in a higher price-point as I don't mind buying pre-owned
My other equipment is a Peachtree Nova 300
