Imabucfan......We have been speaking via PM, but, I want to come out in the open about what I mentioned to you. Without listening, you ordered the Pass pre and Bryston amp. You could have done worse. Maybe not even better at those prices, simply different. You have Klipsch Heresy IIIs, and a good subwoofer. You need sources ( cd player / transport / DAC / streamer, etc ). I encouraged you to connect it all, and see ( HEAR ), what it would be like. Basic cabling for now. People still do not give Klipsch a fair deal, but so many renowned reviewers, have really liked the Heresy IIIs, and as you know, I am a Klispch Heritage fan boy ( for 50 years ). They do many things right. You are making yourself crazy at this point, and despite people here trying to help, they really are not. Use the gear you have. Many folks here, when they started, did not have the level of gear you have. Tubes, different amp, different speakers ? At this point, use what you have. Get your front end ( sources ), start listening to what you have, go to the Tampa show, and then, listen, again, to what you have. Find out what kind of listener YOU are, not the listener, everyone else is. The system you currently have, will extract much information from your selected source, as it will give you ( 1 ) the ability to find out what you like and dislike, as in educating your ears ( 2 ) the ability to play around with the room acoustics / listening chair sweet spot, with this system, as this will help you with any, and every, future change you make. I am hoping someone else here agrees with me, because, I am right. You, and everyone, need to slow down. With a good source or two, you have the makings of an excellent 1st system, and, a system in which to learn, about you, as a listener. That is all.
