Is my new amp TOO GOOD?

Reading all the comments about beryllium tweeters have me sharing my experience.  I have a pair of Revel M126Be standmounts with beryllium tweeters because I found other speakers tweeters to be too sibilant with certain tracks at higher volumes.  I tried several different speakers with different tweeters and the beryllium sound the best to my old guy ears.  If the Revels sounded good before the change and they don’t now you have your answer, it’s the new equipment.  I wouldn’t be thinking about switching speakers to match new equipment although some dealers would love that.  If you’ve given it 100 hours that’s the sound in my listening experience.  Suggest trying different equipment or forget about chasing something new and go back to what works for you.  Best of luck with your new musical journey.  

Thanks for all the input.  It seems like I need to get to work breaking this in. 

Work, work, work, but I will persist.

Yes. Break in is easy. Leave the system on and playing while you are home and awake. You should be able to get it broken in in three weeks. 

 

Certainly agree with the break-in comments as the major potential issue.  Especially since you stayed within the Mc line.

I am surprised by your comments on Mc customer service.  I used to have a number of Mc components and always found their customer service to be both helpful and responsive.  I would still try and reach out to them.

The only other recommendation you might want to consider is using REW to evaluate your listening position/room.  The room is always important but even more so as you move in the direction you are headed.

These are all great suggestions.  OP, please report back in a couple weeks and let us know if things have settled for you.  I've had this same situation with gear.  And sometimes it isn't burn in.  Some gear makes some of my favorite music sound rough maybe because the extra detail can rob some songs of their warmth.

Would love to hear how this story winds up for you!  Best of luck!
