Thanks millercarbon. I ask as I’ve read plenty of articles about how there was notable, not step change, improvement in overall sound quality. I get that that a lot audiophile purchases can either be snake oil or nearly inaudible changes.
I have spent, at least in my world, a decent amount of $ on my system. I’m largely pleased but I seam to be chasing the perfect balance and execution of several instruments in certain songs that seem to be not as crisp or prominent as i know they were recorded. I would like to explore “tweaks” (i guess not upgrades) to my equipment that I’m hope can help me achieve what i want, without wholesale swapping out of equipment.
My Harbeth HL5 plus sound incredible (coupled with a sub) on several albums (Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, New Order - Movement, the smiths - Hatful of Hollow), but on others (Big Country - the Crossing, or Led Zeppelin - 1st album) they seem to fail in the a really crisp and distinct mid range. I could be the recording, but then again it may just be that these are speakers better suited for classical or jazz. I was trying to explore other system changes to tease out more.
