Dear All,
I went for auditioning for new HiFi a month ago at Superfi. Ended up buying
NAD c326BEE and Quad 22L2. It sounded great in the shop. NAD C326BEE is rated at 50Watt but well capable of driving Quad 22L2 floor standers.
I am using QED silverline cable. I havent yet bought a source , but I currently use Sony NWZ-E454 mp3 player, songs ripped at 320KBPS . I know source might be a weak link but I love the presentation and sound stage of Sony with Koss headphones. I am expecting similar sound presentation when I connect Sony mp3 player to NAD-QUAD setup. Bass is great - punchier and tight, highs are smooth.
The problem is , I am feeling something is missing from NAD-QUAD sound presentation.It's been month ,so I suppose I did give fair time for Amp and Speakers for burn-in.
I need lot more open , airy mid range and wider sound stage and more details. (the one i get from Sony-Koss )
Would Musical Fidelity or Marantz higher end model make a difference or changing speakers first is more important ?
I am open for changing amp or speaker, new/used each within budget of £600. (will try to audition the new models suggested.)
Thanks
Sam
