where do i go from here?


thinking about upgrading again and was wondering where people thought i should go, i.e., what's my weakest link and what upgrade would give me the most sound difference for the buck? thanks in advance. this is my first post but i've been reading for a while and find most of the comments posted extrememly helpful.

I've been upgrading via used equipment for a while (everything at this point except the cd player i picked up used) so i'm looking to go that route again.

Components i've been looking at include the Talon Khorus' in a speaker, the Electrocompaniet or Meridian 508.24 in cd players and the Bel Canto's in a bridged monoblock setup but i'm still not sure what makes the most sense. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i'm currently using:

Thiel 3.6
Conrad Johnson MF 2300
Conrad Johnson PV12
Meridian 506.20

At this point, for my ears, the biggest weakness in the system is the lack of bass which makes the thiels a little forward sounding in the upper ranges.

Listening to anyone who bashes MIT *is* the biggest mistake that you can make. Glen knows what he's talking about above; no need for any further elaboration here.
thanks everyone? o.k. if i go with cables as a first shot,
what do people think. i've heard rec's for the Cardas and the MIT's for the Thiels. What do you all think? further suggestions greatly apprecieated and i will post back to let people know what works and what doesn't. thanks again

Sorry - I must have been writing in my sleep when I posted the above about speaker placement. I just re-read it, and I've got to correct myself. Not that my recommendations are wrong per se, but they don't have anything to do with bass response problems. Bass will be reinforced by moving the bass drivers closer to room boundaries, period. Cancellations can occur higher in frequency, however, in the lower and middle midrange, which should be distributed accross the range by unequal separations rather than concentrated by similar separations. I stand by my cable statements, though! Over and out . . . .
