I only sort of agree...not always good right out of the box, but should be good within 100 hours...when I first heard the new Vandersteen 3 at my dealer they sounded not good right out of the box, ..went back 5 days later, same setup, and they sounded wonderful..had to buy them...my PS Audio digital gear took a long time to sound it’s best, but sounded excellent after just a few hours...new shoes are another story
Q acoustics harsh high end
Please help.
Just bought a Pioneer network reciever and a pair of 3050s. I realise this isn't top end equipment but at any sort of volume the upper frequencies are harsh, very noticeable on female voices. The last system I had was started back in the late 70s with a pair of MA4s, then a denon amp, 50W I think, then I added a mid range Marantz cd player.
I remember having absolutely no issues with the sound quality. I have tried placing the system in a different room. I have tried a different amp (Marantz 63KI). I have tried a different Cd player but all sound the same, bright, harsh top end. Im begining to think it's the speakers but the reviews are almost unanimously brilliant. I'm wondering if I should get some second hand MA 352s
Any advice would be welcome
