Confused and need help

After finding out that my 1.7 maggies were going faulty and losing their sparkle i went on the hunt for new gear.
I took my gear (2x parasound A21 and my ARC LS17se preamp ) and went shopping. 
I had heard great comments about the 30.2 harbeths so i hooked up my gear and listened for a few hours, i was not impressed, something was missing, it was flat, and boring. 
I connected up the new Ayre integrated amp and wow, the 30.2 sounded so full, warm, accurate.
Surely my electronics are not that poor quality?

Just like relationships, some pairings simply work better. Being Ayre helps. : )

Do i bite the bullet and purchase the 30.2 and the Ayre or do i try the Ayre with my maggies? Grrrrrr i hate this hobby sometimes.
i dont understand what has gone wrong!

Synergy.  Period.

Also, I would really encourage you to bring the speakers home where you are familiar with the sound.

Rooms play a huge part in system setup and SYNERGY.

Good luck.

Not surprised. With all due respect to your Parasound gear, Ayre is in a different level
