krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
Well I tried the same setup but with different speakers... (smaller hifi speakers I own, and which I know can sound rather bright) and the sound still lacks air... so any other recommendations for system change regarding cdplayer or preamp then?thx! 
krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
One of the reasons my system lacks air maybe impedance mismatch?MC 500 has imput impedance of 10kOhms (not specified if it doubles for balanced or not). The levinsons (331 etc and 432) all have 100k balanced and 50k single ended... so this is what...

I am sure the newer gear will sound even better then the one in my question but it's out of my budget, but back to that question...if I keep speakers and amp, which pre af the above would help me the most going to a faster and more involving syste... 
krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral?
The only way I can audition anything in my system is if I buy it :)...I am however listening with accuphase directy to power amp and then to the whole system but with different smaller hifi speakers to identify the component in the chain that is t...

To danielk141:So the Krell not used with cast and other Krell components will be nothing special?Is the XP10 really worth almost twice the price of the 2.5?Anyone else? 
Identify this hum, please
Are your preamp and cd on the same electrical circuits?Is there a cable connection (from tv) that is routed through your system? Tried different interconnects? 
Revel Salon after B&W matrix 800? or Wilson Witts
I ended up buying a pair of Wilson Witt 1!I must say that I am in audiophile heaven with them on my system! I know that opinions on these vary a lot and I had previous experience with them being a bit bottom heavy and just a tad soft on female voc... 
Revel Salon after B&W matrix 800? or Wilson Witts
This thread seems dead in the water...I did not mean to critize the nautilus 800 range, it is well possible I did not hear their potential as demos often tend to be too loud and shows even more... 
Revel Salon after B&W matrix 800? or Wilson Witts
Gshepardbuster, I did hear B&W nautilus 802's before on ML 383 and did not like them so much, the 800's I heard on a show with Pass? and they gave me the same idea: loud and pure, bass not deep enough and I wasnt moved at all emotionally; the ... 
Revel Salon after B&W matrix 800? or Wilson Witts
I forgot to mention, I can also buy B&W nautilus 801 at the same price as the revel salons, so again 1500 euro more then the wilson witts II... 
B&W matrix 800 or genesis V
Thanks a lot for the reaction guys, this is the info I was hoping for! Never thought anyone would have had both of these speakers, but you can not get better info then that! I usually listen at low spls. Which system do you run on the genesis and ... 
Mcintosh MC500 or Accuphase P800
Wow sounds like a good preamp indeed! I like the C2200 and C2300 also, but never had a chance to hear them, but think tubes could add that little magic to my ssytem... Any thoughts?Big difference between MC500 and 1.2 kWs? 
Mcintosh MC500 or Accuphase P800
Hi Gshepardbuster!is the c100 tube or transistor?pairing with my c46 is great but I have a feeling there is even more in the mc500! how about those cinema preamps from mcintosh? or are these not as good as the c46?what did you replace your mc500 w... 
Mcintosh MC500 or Accuphase P800
