where should i go from here?


i have a denon avr3802 with energy veritas speakers, tried hooking up a conrad johnson mf2100 to see if i could get more majic(cleaner and more overhead)the denon was my pre. it did not have the brilliance i was looking for. the room is basically 15by 15.using outdoor electrical wire as speaker wire. i hav a paradigm pw1200 powered sub,plenty of low end 1 to 3k price range thanks ahead of time for the help. do i need more power? better amp? are those speakers capible? bryon lundberg

can't help thinking there are 2 ways to go with the energys. i'd try a cj tube pre with the 2100 and see if the cj magic comes through. otherwise a nice/relatively powerful ss integrated like plinius, krell, bryston, creek, etc should make the energys really sing.
Your weak link is the source. Your music is compressed greatly and will never "sing". Get a cd player first. I have dir tv and 2 very nice systems, tube & theater. Dir tv, dish net, and xm all sound flat even with high priced gear.
thanks elevick, that is my next step. i thought the music was supposed to be cd quality. thats why my cj sounded as good as the denon. same source and using the denon as the pre amp. thanks again bryon
