Kind of a scattered system at this point.. renting a place while home is being built. new music room won't be dedicated, but plan on using quite a bit. it will be 16 x 18 approx. size.
For now, just trying to figure out where to go with the system. I like R&R and some blues mostly. (loud most of the time). The system sounds really spacious but kind of seems limited at higher volumes.. I find myself listening to acoustic guitar stuff and Natalie Merchant/Fleetwood Mac type stuff most of the time because it's what sounds best on it...My wife likes the look of the speakers but not sure if they are the weakest link right now or not.. Cables are not that special.. Audioquest and 3M Monster speaker cables..I'm not really a propeller-head at this yet so it's kind of hard to describe any potential limitations accurately (which would help improve the system)..Any Thoughts?
Those are terrific amplifiers, but without upgrading your speakers you won't be getting anywhere near their full potential. Also I don't know how well Maggies work with the single ended Cary monoblocks. I know the 1610SEs are extremely powerful by SET standards, but you may want to do some research and make sure the planar designs are a suitable match. If so, you could always move towards the top of Magnepan's line. Either way, to truly complement those amps speaker wise, you're looking at spending some long green. Your source and preamp are probably the less immediate upgrade.
