I have been steadily becoming more focussed on sound and performance in the last 5 years. I have learned a lot and enjoyed a lot from experimentation. But this last 6 months or so, I feel like I have lost my way. I don't enjoy music as much anymore, and find myself looking for ways to fiddle around with setup to change things consistently
These are the things that will stay permanant in my system; my record collection, my McIntosh tuner, and my Michell turntable.
I currently have KEF Ls50s, which do somethings really incredibly amazingly well, but in my medium size room, they lack macro dynamics and low end. Of course I knew they would never pressurize the room with super low bass, but I thought they would put more out in the mid bass region. They are powered by a Yamaha AS-1100 amp, which is also a nice sounding integrated.
Maybe I am just feeling nostalgic for my vintage McIntosh setup up from when I started out, or just a fuller richer sound (even at the expense of some resolution). In short I miss the extra magic that just makes music and not so much of the 'hifi' if you get my drift.
Should I be looking at a different amp/speaker combo? Any ideas or thoughts?
I would appreciate the thoughts of those who have found their way off this merry go round.
