Weakest link in my system


Just as the title states.  What would you say the weakest link in my system is.  System includes. B&W Matrix 800 speakers.   Audio Research Ref 750s mono amps.  Audio Research Ref 6 SE pre amp. Audio Research Ref 9 cdp. McIntosh MQ 112 equalizer. Straight Wire Crescendo speaker cables tri wired. Straight wire Crescendo XLR Interconnects.

@audphile1   I definitely will let u know what the results are with the Denali. I wasn’t gonna try it with my ARC Ref 750s amps as I heard they definitely will sound the best from my wall with my 2 dedicated outlets. I was only gonna use it for my ARC Ref 9 cdp and ARC Ref 6 se pre. And my McIntosh Q112 equalizer. I’m kinda hesitant even trying my amps as I really don’t want to damage them with a power conditioner. 

I hear you. If ARC says don’t run these amps thru power conditioner then definitely don’t. But usually the Shunyata conditioners are passive design and aren’t current limiting. Agree though might not be worth the risk. 

@audphile1”…B&Ws are old but they kick butt…”

 

Yes, I agree. If all you listen to is rock definitely.

@ghdprentice  BTW. I really love classic rock and pop. R n B. Little bit of classical and county. If I was gonna look at different speakers It would be the Wilson Alexx V. Happy holidays!! 

 

@ghdprentice

Rock was mentioned as a preferred style of music. I constructed my response primarily based on this.

Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours!!! Enjoy the music!

@tattooedtrackman one more thing that I wanted to run by you after looking at your system pictures…I think you have a bit more room to spread the speakers further apart. They seem slightly too close to each other. Or may be it just seems that way on pictures?
