not impresed with my system

The weak link would seem to be the speakers. Very good for HT though.

what i hear is that you are not pleased with the sound of your stereo system. can you be more specific ?

what is it about your stereo system that you don't like ?

no stereo system is perfect and no stereo system can reproduce a live performance faithfully.

we all face the imperfection of components. hopefully, we can move on from there.

since components are imperfect and this can become evident after careful listening, perhaps you wish to create a "flavor ". if so, can you describe the nature of the "flavor" ?

If your system sounds too far from lifelike then I know what you mean. But tell us more about what you don't like. I'm not too impressed with my sound vs dollars investment much these days either. By the way, I owned 2 different sets of Def Tech's (BP7002/BP7000) in various past system interations, and always felt that "PART" of the problem in each system was a poor match between the speakers and electronics. You can email me.

Change your speakers.

Well, the speakers and cd player (probably the 2 most important components) are quite ordinary.

Find a pair of speakers that make you smile.

Everything from there is downhill.
