Hi Folks,
I currently have an Arcam Solo Movie 5.1 (carried over from full surround system) paired with Quad 22L2.
Speakers are to be retained as I like them very much but I'm looking to replace Arcam with Amp/CDP.
I find the current sound a bit dull, lacking in energy, attack, too woolly, lacking in detail and generally uninvolving. I also have to turn the amp up to 75% max volume to get me interested!
I listen to most music genre's bar jazz.... pop, classics, folky/accoustic stuff, some dancy stuff. I do not require ear splitting levels of noise but want to be able to sit back and listen at normal levels while occasionally rotating the volume know clockwise. Basically wanting a good all-rounder.
Budget is about £800 max. Happy to go new or s/hand.
Room size is 5.5 x 4.5m. High ceilings, painted walls, large bay window with wooden blinds, fireplace at one end with alcoves either side, stripped wood floor (insulated underneath) with a large rug in centre, large leather sofa and armchair. So generally a little accoustically challenged!
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
