i am using the dac- magic which i think is great punchy fast clear detailed but maybe brighter than i thought it might of been.
arcam alpha9 great very forward and bags of power.
my problem seems to be that my monitor audio bronze range speakers seem to be very see through, i guess they are showing me that they have no charater of there own. If i play the br5's or 1's through my denon 1909 with movies/games/sky they become very warm but with music they lack bite. But as soon as i play them though my arcam they become bright harsh at the top end, midrange is a little to forward and the bass is way to deep on the 5's. I am enjoying the 1's a little more until i fancy the who loud and they lack body and almost are crying for help.
So after that im looking for a speaker which would match my kit. I want the sound to be detailed but without the sound hitting me around the face. i guess smooth is a good word to use for me.
I am looking standmounts i really dont think floorstanders under £850 offer enough value for money. I am on a tight budget and im very keen to get all my bronze monitor audio stuff over to the av side. So i guess come end of may i will have around £275-£350
the next thing would i be better to pick some £50 beasts like a pair of misson 700 series s/hand and save for better speakers. say £550-£700 worth.
last question how much would i need to pay to better my alpha9 amp. i do like the rotel 04se but is that sidewould step.
