What's your speaker???
(Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio
Can anyone help me. Looking at Possibly moving from my PS Audio ( BHK Monoblocks and Pre) to Luxman C900 and M10 Amps (monoblocks)or to Hegel 30a amps (monoblocks) and Conductor Preamp [latest versions]. What are the differences in sound amongst these house combinations.

My other components are ps audio latest transport, Dac (for Sacd), p20 power supply, mola mola tambaqui for cd, streaming, Synergistic Research all Galileo SX interconnects and Power Cords, SR active Ground block, Lumin streamer with separate lumin power supply, Focal Scala Evo Utopia..... Looking for more soundstage(though it's pretty good now) just improvements (width,depth); more impact. I like soundstage definition and impact - (not just in base) and detail, lots of detail. Coldness should not equate to detail though. |
That helps a lot, but what are your room dimensions and how do you have your speakers set up in the room? Also, what room treatments, if any, are you using? You have good equipment and many of the things you’re looking for can be greatly affected by things like speaker placement and room treatments, and a lot cheaper than buying new equipment. @erik_squires can give you much better recommendations on room treatment, and I agree with his frequent recommendation on consulting with GIK for how to maybe treat your room. |
So room is the "Elephant in the room". Open concept speaker fronts 4.75' off back wall, ceiling sloped then flat at 14' high, room primary depth is 23'. Part of right side is intermittently open. Just complicated. Speakers have been dialed in using PS audio set up. Super detailed, clean, real nice soundstage l to r , descent f to r.. mor source dependant. I have some panels made with help from Acoustamatic. About the limit of WAF. The room is the family room. My biggest issue is I have yhe balance at 3% to right to help the sound stage (open side). My sweet spot is great, but move 6" r or l and it drops off. Speakers are towed in a little less than Focal wants. |
