What about room correction? Lyngdorf room correction makes a huge difference in a challenging room, I haven’t tried others. I believe that’s going to get you much further than any amp change.
(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.

@krymer2 I haven't heard your models, but other Focals tend to want to be used with minimal toe-in for best imaging and a wide listening sweet spot. |
That room sounds pretty tough. Not sure you could do enough physical room correction. IMO a good digital room correction would be a game changer. I had a Lyngdorf 2170 in my basement. With room correction on it was the only way to get the sound I wanted out of multiple amps. Was the difference between damn why did I spend money on all this crap to ohhh yeah that’s why. When I moved my system upstairs to a more suitable room the difference with room correction on and off was not there so I sold it. |
Here’s a suggestion that will probably get laughed at, but dies actually work. I have quite a lot of gear, high end and low end. If I find myself getting somewhat bored with a certain configuration, I’ll put in one of my Marantz or SANSUI receivers and use that for a month. When I go back to my higher end gear, I appreciate it that much more. just an out-of-the-box suggestion. Good luck with whatever you decide on. |
