Thanks so much for the posts. When I first started putting together this rooms system I debated on stand a mounts rather than the bigger towers. However, It is what it is now. The Peachtree units were originally in my bigger room and didn't sound bad. Other room is a 20x30 portion of my shop which houses construction equipment, M/C's etc. Great acoustics, just lucky I guess. However, when the Peachtree units were replaced with the ATI Amp and Benchmark Line Amp a metamorphosis had taken place. Just trying to wrap my head around that. In the smaller room, there is a large couch, a floor rug, pictures etc. Also an open door leading to a bathroom on one end, and on the other side and open door leading to a hallway. I don't think there is much I can do with the room??? Just not sure whether it's too much loudspeaker, or to little of a room, or needing a stronger Amp? Or none of the above, or all of the above??? Thanks again for everyone's time and expertise. Robert
speakers/ amps liking one another
Good morning all. Looking for some guidance. I appreciate all that have helped in the past.
I listened yesterday to a secondary 2 channel music only. Seemed very disappointing. My primary system has spoiled me. Primary system, following: ATI 6000 2 channel amp, Benchmark LA-4 Line amp, Meitner MA-1 DAC, Project RS2T transport and LTA Linear power supply, SVS SB 4000 Sub, Tekton upgraded Double Impacts. Also streaming Qobuz. In a very large area, listen to only R&R loudly. System is to Die for.
Second system is composed of Peachtree Amp 500, and Peachtree PreDac (preamp) audiolab 6000 transport, Benchmark Dac 3B, Focal Aria 948's. 2 channel system only, music. Much smaller room 13x13' Did the speaker placement job a while ago. Note: Focal says speaker can dip to 2.5 ohm's?
I believe my weak link is the Amp and preamp combo (Class D) Looking for used recommendations for SS amp class A/B or A that has some real CLASS power to it. I'll deal with a preamp to add to the amp a little later. Use the present preamp until I can afford a better one. 2 or 3K, give or take some. Any help would be great. Robert TN
