Given the power you are feeding them they "should" be lean sounding, not muddy. I highly disagree that Vandy 2's are the answer. What I think you need are more clinical sounding speakers or a new front end. Also a quick fix can be had by using thinner rather than thicker speaker cables.
Is my system bottlenecked?
My system is composed of:
anthem avm20v2
anthem tube\hybrid cd player
rotel rb976
rotel rb970
B&W 604s3 lcr600s3 (center)
Mirage omnipolars (rears)
SVS Cs20-39
I'm very happy with my preamp and pretty happy with my cd player. I feel like either my speakers (main) or my amp are the weakest link. I'm bi-amping the mains with the 976 giving them about 120 watts each.
I'd like to make an overall improvement to my sound and am not sure if replacing the speakers or the amps would be more cost effective.
