Sounds good but to laid back

Im new to this forum Went to home theater year and half ago I have EAD powermaster 2000;Encore pro,Aerial 10Ts,Aerial center,Velodyne 10in powered sub,Aerial rears Sounds good but way to laided back. I had Arc VT100 MK11 Cat ultament and the Aerial 19 Ts, It sounded very live. You would think the group was playing in your living room. Would like to get the same effect with what I have now if possible Would it pay to upgrade Encore to Sig. Open to sugg. Thanks for your help. PS My wife thinks i spend to much time on Audiogon. AM I the only one .

The key to your whole problem are the words: "Went to home theater year and half ago".

I have 10t's as well.....on a separate 2 channel system.

Can you put it back the way it was, and pass your HT through the 2 channel preamp? Or is the old stuff gone? I use a Mod Squad Line Drive Deluxe passive on my HT system to get good 2 channel out of it. Only way. HT preamps make horrible 2 channel. I fell into the same trap. If you are used to good two channel HT just won't cut it.

Good luck, I feel your pain.

You're spending way too much time on audiogon and need to be spending more with L, D and H. No more spending money on hi-fi, especially when you are at the CES show this week. Have you tried a Krell amp to kick some life into your Aerials?
