I agree with the poster who suggested that your problem is with your source. The 1nt is very sensitive to partnering components. Any tonal brightness in your system and the 1nts will pass it along to you. As well, the rotel amp is not the last word in warmth or refinement,very capable though it is. My suggestion would be to borrow a couple of different cd players to switch between in your system. I think you will find that the 1nt will convey the sonic differences between those players in a way that will be quite clear.As well, I would suggest that the Rotel-though very good, may not have the kind of current or stability that will bring out the best in this speaker. This is a very good speaker, by the way. It may not be your cup of tea, but given the right system the 1nts are capable of truly impressive sonics. I think you are on the right track to question your electronics
need more smoothness
I own B&W CDM 1NT's and have a love-hate "relationship"
with them. Excellent finich, great mid and detail but
violins sounds to sharp. Maybe I buy other speakers or hope they do well with smooth electronics such as the LINN
Classik system.
Are the B&W's with a linn classik a good match ?
Maybe I'm a little bit hi fi - neurotical.
