Help me find my Weak Link.

There is just something Missing in my System. I think that I just don't have the proper pairing of components.

Pre Amp: Spectral DMC 20
Amp: Sim Audio Moon W-5
Speakers: B&W N802
CD Player: Wadia 6 with Upgrades from wadia and Great Northern Black Caps.
Cables: Nordost SPM
Interconnects: Nordost quatrofil
Richard Gray Power supplies and Shunyata Power Cables.

I'm thinking that the spectral doesn't quite fit into the Mix with what i'm currently using?

Suggestions Please.

Can you list what you like and dislike about your system. You'll get much better answers that way.

Along the line of Zd542, how about the room configuration? I can't comment on your equipment but can tell you the room is an important piece of the puzzle.

Let me guess. Your system is lacking body.

"I don't like the sound of my system... Please help."

Do you know "Get Better Sound," by Jim Smith?
Applying even a few of his ideas is bound to return dividends.

Common system mismatches are found in power amp - speaker than most others. B&W 802 speaker is a power hungry speaker and need to be driven by a high current amp and has a huge demand at lower ohm. I once had a B&W 802 driven by ML 23.5 and sounded great and anything less "powerful" than that sounded horrible. This is not an easy driven speaker.
