vandersteens and other larger speakers won't necc disappear on a lot of recordings. they will however do a nice balancing act when it comes to tone and weight. i don't think you've got a problem here, unless you're inclined to want small monitors that become invisible....you may want to do comparisons before bailing on any of your components.
Quicksilver Linestage Pre-Amplifier
I've had this pre-amp for a little over a year now and am reasonably happy with its sound. Coupled with my B&K amplifier it delivers a good punchy sound to my Vandersteen speakers however I find that it lacks a bit in the sounstage. I have tried moving the speakers around and have put up absorbing panels at the first reflection points and the soundstage is still not what I had hoped for.
My dealer mentioned that I could tweak the sound somewhat by changing tubes so I thought that I would look into this but, being new to tubes, I don't know which ones to go with. What are your recommendations. My pre-amp uses 2 x 12AX7 tubes.
Thanks.
