New member here. I was recently gifted a mint set of Mission 753’s, with boxes, spikes etc. I loved audio separates back in the late 90’s as a teenager so wanted to use this opportunity to create a respectable budget set up.
I read that the Pioneer A400 was a good companion for these speakers, so I waited months for a very nice, serviced example to come up for sale. Next was the CD player. I was really indecisive about this, retro? New? So in the end I settled for a new Marantz CD6007.. (which incidentally is giving me nothing but trouble misreading discs etc, but that’s for another thread). Anyway after acquiring all these units I was so excited to set them up and hear them in all their glory! However it was all a bit of an anticlimax.
Although the clarity of sound is fantastic, it’s missing depth, low end, bass. I’m really not a bass junkie, but I do like some depth and soul to my music.. and this is lacking. I put on a couple of more bassier tracks just to see how it would respond, and it’s quite timid. Now, it’s a shot in the dark, but from reading online a few people have mentioned this about the A400. All of the units are new to me, so it’s guess work who the culprit is.
Has anyone had experience with this amp? Can anyone recommend an amp that would do the speakers justice without spending a grand etc. it’s just a new hobby for me, and not a life style.
Any help appreciated?
