Is my new amp TOO GOOD?
I recently took advantage of the McIntosh Upgrade program. I traded my MA352 integrated hybrid for the C2800 tube preamp + MC462 ss power amp. I have a large room with Revel Studio 2 speakers (with beryllium tweeters), and two SVS subs. I also have some room treatments on the walls.
I traded up because I wanted to see if I could more detail with the extra watts while keeping the tube sound I like.
So now I have much more detail, but its sometimes too much. Higher frequencies - like high pitched loud vocals, and some of the detail now sounds almost like static. If I turn the volume way up I can hear that its another guitar or a background vocal.
I have turned the treble down from -1 to -4, and I can't listen at 90 db all the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions about adjusting the eq/
