listener fatigue? go analogue.


I own B&W CDM 1NT speakers and often I want to sell them.
The first impression was good but after 20 minutes listening to them I didn't enjoy my music, I bought a phono-amp and started listen to some LP's, away was the hard sound,
now they sound smooth and warm and I can listen hours to
them. I own this speakers for three years, now I enjoy them. I don't say CD is bad but analogue is better, it's not as clinical or cold.
I will not sell my speakers.

My turntable is a very modest pro-ject debut 2 and a pro-ject phono box, that isn't the best gear in the world but to my ears it's an improvement, my CD-player is a very
accurate machine: the rotel rcd 971, but in combination
with my CDM 1NT's the turntable sounds smoother.
My amp is a rotel 971 mk2.
My speakers strongest points are at the same time their
weakest.
The speakers are detailled and analytical, so you can hear
everything including the weakness of your system, cd or lp.
I have also Linn kan 3 speakers, they're far from transparant as my B&W's, but with my rotel gear the sound is softer ( not so harsch ), but with lp's the Kans sound not as good.
