I second Tvad's advice. Yeah, The Havana can help on the top-end, but in the long run, if you change speakers you may end up changing other gear to suit. Just be patient, save, and get the speakers you like.
Warm Sounding Power Amp or MHDT Havana DAC?
My system is a little bright and I'd like opinions on what is the best way to warm up the sound. I have MB Quart QLS-830 floorstanders powered by a Marantz SR5002 AVR. In general I like the sound...just a little crispy on top. I'd like to keep the AVR functionality, as I do occasionally watch movies with the system, so I was thinking about adding a power amp or DAC.
I've read great things about the MHDT Havana DAC and also heard that B&K power amps are warm and tubey. I'm wondering which would have a bigger/better impact on my system's sound, or if there are better options. I'd like to keep it under $1000.
Thanks a lot!
