I am just searching to have a very relaxed, open, and airy system. Wide sound stage and focus/very clean dynamics are my first priorities, nothing puts me on edge more than mistracking or thin emotionless sound. The speakers and cartridge I currently have I am looking to swap out here in the next year or so when I put together the funds. Love to hear some opinions!
The room is a little lively thats why I have always leaned towards the MM carts. Im really considering a Dynavector xx2 or the EMT TSD15 since I've such good things about their paring with the WTA.
A good friend of mine had Electa Amator II's and replaced them with Fritz Carbon 7's (don't let the price fool you!). Google Fritz speakers & give him a call. He's a great person to talk with. Yes, I know him & no, I don't get kickbacks.
As for your room, it looks relaxing but how is it sonically? The easiest & least expensive thing to do is move the speakers around. Next up would be room treatments.
I wonder how a Dynavector would compare to the Soundsmith?
