Description

I've been working on this system since highschool. I started with a NAD and B&W 805S system. From there I went to a system using the NAD as a pre-amp and a krell KAV-2250 as a power amp for a pair of N803. That was a big step up.

While the B&W - Krell combination was very good there was somethig about it that just bothered me when I listen for long periods of time. It would just "get to me"

So, I set out to build a system that was a little "warmer." This is a much more musical. Not as "sterile" if that makes any sense. One things for sure I now enjoy my long listening sessions

Thanks for the reply. I used to think that bass was an issue with my 927's but with these, in my room, I am very satisfied with the bass. It could be my amp as well. And you are right. They are very sensitive to placement. Just a few inches can have a big impact. Again in my room with my equipment dynamics are not a problem. You may want to play with position a bit more if you can. Experiment with toeing in and maybe move the up a bit so the rack is not between them.

Nice setup. I have the 1027's myself. I am using a Bryston 4b-ST right now but I am in the very early stages of amp research. What short falls are you experiencing? In my room, I really can't pin any down with this speaker. Again, that is a very nice setup.
