Should I change my CD player ?

I love my JM Lab Diva, they can fill out even the biggest room with big bold sound while letting every bit of details through. Altough they are not your average audiophile hyper detailled loudspeakers, you never get the feeling that something is missing. Unlike other JM Lab models, they are not as bright and in your face as one might suspect. Before I made my choice I had listen to the Micro Utopia, the Verity Audio Fidelio and the Sonus Faber Guarneri and I found the Diva to be the most versatile of them all being able to play all kind of music. And since I might one day merge my home theater and my 2 channel systems, the Diva was the practical choice. Sorry I can't give you my opinion on the Sophia as I never had the chance to hear them but I do feel that in your case you might want to go with the Nova if you want an upgrade update, the Diva would be more a side step, something different than your Sophia, guess it is a matter of choice as everything is in audio.

If you haven't done anything for your room acoustics that should definitely be your next upgrade. It will far outperform a different cd player or any other electronics. You'll be shocked if you haven't done so already.

Thanks Utopia, I will have to do serious listening to both Diva and Nova. There is dealer in Atlanta that can setup the Nova for Demo but will be special setup with $1000 fee - because the speakers have to be brought from New York. I will never pay to do this. Instead I will fly to New York for demo sessions. Glad to hear you like your Diva. I love my Sophia but just want to explore something new.
