You will get this with better speakers. Excuse me. Tektons. Don't hold me to that if you decide on something else.
lmao! Whatever...
Looking for new speakers
I'm looking to upgrade my Thiel CS3.6s -- I never thought I'd say this, but I think they are not good enough for the rest of my system.
Within the last two years, I've upgraded my amplification to a Luxman L-509x integrated amp, and upgraded my turntable to a Luxman 171a. Overall my system sounds pretty good --- MUCH better than before the upgrade. However, there are some recordings on which there is definite distortion, particularly especially well-mastered 45s. For example, Diana Krall's Look of Love has so much distortion it's almost unlistenable. Even in the 33s, I can now hear a low-level distortion.
My theory is that when the Thiels were manufactured, the electronics were not quite as good as they are now, and definitely the recordings were not mastered as expertly, so these weaknesses did not show up. They were great speakers in their day, but, alas, I think maybe that day has passed, at least in my system.
I'm looking for something in the $10K - $15K range. Not sure if there's anything in that range that would be enough of an improvement, but I'd love some suggestions. It's been many years since I've looked at speakers, so I'm not really up on what's available at that price point.

I would take a look at these speakers: http://aaudioimports.com/ShowProduct.asp?hProduct=320 Tremendous technology and no hype, Wonderful midrange that is missing on most speakers and sweet yet extended soft dome tweeter, Accurate and music bass that doesn't emphasis the dreaded 80Hz doubling that I hear so often, or the over dampened dead sounding bass. Serious speakers for music lovers and ones that audiophiles can boast about as well. |
If it's something with the speakers here's the place to contact. https://www.coherentsourceservice.com/ |
