It could be anything, but I wouldn't even think about doing any critical listening until you break the new pieces in for a few hundred hours. They're going to change. Wait and see if you like the way they sound after break-in.
HELP Why no bass? Why bright?
I recently purchased a new Arcam FMJ A22 integrated and the matching power amp (P25) and am struck by the lack of bass. By comparison, my Arcam DIVA A65 integrated was very warm sounding. Is it the amps, interconnects (Transparent Music Wave) speaker cables (DH Labs silversonic Q14 bi-wire) or the B&W CM2 and B&W CDM7 NT speakers? Do the amps need to break in? Could it be that the bass not lacking, but much more controlled?
HELP!!!
