I am using a Music Reference RM200II, which a distinct improvement over my Adcom 555. My preamp is a PS Audio 4.6, which I'll probably upgrade next year to a tube pre-amp. Moving from the Adcom to the Music Reference taught me that the Gallos really like tubes.
Gallo ref 3.1 users please chime in
My set up as of now consists of the following.
Gallo 3.1's
Bel Canto s300i
Rega apollo cdp
acoustic zen matrix II interconnects
alpha-core m2 speaker cable
My original plan was eventually to go with the bel canto pre3 and ref1000's.
Now I'm not sure if that is the way to go for me.
I like the detail and speed it poses now, but am missing some rich midrange and vocal warmth that really brings me into the music, along with soundstage depth.
I mainly listen to rock music.
Should I go with the pre3 and ref1000's or will it be more of the same?
Any recommendations for under 5K used for both preamp and amps will be very helpful. I am not against maybe trying tube gear ether, pre or amps....
Thanks
