Thanks for all your suggestions. Newbee, I cannot, in fact, re-arrange anything except I have always had the speakers out from the wall. The equalizer sound interesting. While it might take any harshness away, I guess (?) it would not do anything to the soundstage. While I have tried angling the speakers toward the listening position, I find the soundstage better when there is no angle at all (apparently Jeff Joseph suggested this). But I can try again. Thanks again.
What would you do?
So, I want to tweak the sound of my system (Hegel 160 integrated, Cambridge CXC transport, TAD tube DAC (pretty old), Joseph Audio RM25Mark2 XL). I want to increase soundstage and curb a slight tendency for high end harshness. I know that soundstage is mainly in the mastering of a CD. And I know that the room plays a big role but I can't make changes there. Just retired and "need" to give myself a present (up to about $3,000 new or used). Have been thinking about getting a new DAC ( Audio Mirror Tubador 111SE with Balanced output). But wonder if the money would be better spent elsewhere. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
