Hi,
I have had this issue for some time, and am worried that there is a system issue behind it. My naim 62/150x combination sounds laid back and sweet with my Epos ES14. However, one of them has developed a slur on the bass and it looks like a driver fault that could be end game. I picked up some Dynaudio Excite X12s, without audition, at a fair price and on the back of many positive comments about them having a bit of bass and a sweet treble. However, whilst the bass is neat, the top end is rather harsh and tiring. I have tamed things by using Rothwell attenuators, but would like to get to the cause of the issue.
My Naim gear is a mix of 1990 era Olive and 2005 ear 150x. I am about to add a Teddy Pardo TeddyCap, but cannot get rid of the nagging doubt that my old NAC62 might be part of the problem. Mark at Witch Hat is confident that as a passive pre-amp, there is not much to age inside it and there is no reason to think it is giving me a dose of wild treble.
Any thoughts? Any experience of Naim and Dynaudio out there? I am tempted to look for other speakers, but if it is the electronics then that will be a waste of time.
