How to make sound less detailed with warmth?

Hello All,

I am quite new to audio stuff... just been listening to my current set up for about a year.

CD Player: RCD-1072
Preamp: Sonic Frontier SFL-1
Poweramp: BK M-200 Sonata Series
Speaker: Thiel 1.3
Cable: Not sure...

I liked detailed sound at first but now I am more into musical and warm sound. It becomes a pain when I listen to violin on my current system. So my question is which part should I change to make my system sound more musical?

One more question: My BK M-200 Power amp just died on me. Is it a wise decision to send the unit back to B&K or get it fixed here?!?! Please let me know.

Thank you!

Ditch the Thiels - they are famous for your complaints and changing upstream equipment won't change anything that much (but you can get rid of some of the brightness by buying very high quality amps, preamps, and sources. Go that way and when you really get tired of them you will have some electronics that will sound worth while on your replacement of the Thiels with a more neurtal or warmish toned speaker. Been there, done that with CS3.5's. Loved them at the dealers and bought them, loved them even more when I sold them several years later after getting 2 new amps, a pre-amp and a source or two. Bought some panels and never looked back. Had beautiful natural Rosewood cabinets though! Even my wife liked them.
