System: Cyrus CD6S & 6VS amp, Pro-ject Debut & Pro-ject phono stage, Arcam miniblink, Monitor Audi Silver RS5 speakers, Chord Cobra 3 interconnects, Audioquest FLX SLiP 14/4 speaker cable.
Since I moved house a few years back, I've been finding my music sounds a bit thin and light in the lower midrange and base through the CD6S. I'm pretty sure this is because my new lounge is quite a bit bigger (17' x 19'). There's a similar lack of base weight through the miniblink, whereas the Pro-Ject still sounds really well-rounded and punchy.
On advice from Richer Sounds, I swapped my old Silver Anniversary Biwire cable for the Audioquest, which brought a small improvement, but not enough. I'm not sure whether the CD6S, the amp or the speakers are the weakest link.
I'm considering replacing one of my components (budget £600-700) and have no idea which will make the most difference or what I should audition to get a better all-round sound.
