If you like SS amp, Jeff Rowland 5 might be good choice too. I like how it sound the the vintage Mac MC240. Seductive sweet.
Help needed with Proac 1SC setup
I need help with setting up my Proac 1SCs. I was expected to be blown away with the sound, but I haven't. The 3-D imaging isn't there, and the speakers sound rather harsh. The bass also sounds too boomy. I reckon I've done something wrong.
My room is rectangular, with a sofa facing a wall 10ft away. The speakers are about 2ft from the wall.
Rest of the system is Benchmark DAC1 feeding an oldish Arcam Alpha 5 (due to be replaced) into the Proac 1SCs. My speakers used to be Castle Trents, which although old and cheap were kicking the Proac 1SC's ass. Maybe the Arcam isn't good enough, but the Proacs should at least sound better than the Castles. What's going wrong?
