Speaker Tweaker

Hi folks,

Looking for some advice. I have the following as my main system:

  • Audiolab 8000p x 2 power amps
  • Audiolab 8000c pre-amp
  • Audiolab M-DAC
  • Audiolab DC Blocker
  • Audiolab 6000 CDT CD Transport
  • EPOS ES11 Bookshelves on their open stands
  • Room is 20 feet x 8 feet and is fully furnished with carpets and soft furnishing
I have tried Monitor Audio RS6, B&W and KEF speakers with my set-up and I think the best is the EPOS. However, as the system is quite 'natural', some would say clinical, I'm wondering if there are warmer speakers I could use?

I am quite into the details of music but I am looking for a happy medium. I listen to all sorts of music from Metal to Classical.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this? I've read Focal, Wharfedale, Dali etc. may be good but opinions differ widely (as I would expect!).

Cheers,
D

Hey Don, maybe try a tube buffer, like the Musical fidelity X-10D between the DAC, and pre? The V1 (tube shaped) allows you to easily change tubes, allowing you to 'tune' the sound a bit, they are easier to come by in the UK. Speaker wise, maybe try a pair of Tannoy 609's, or in the range above (if you can find a pair) the D100's.
 
I'd also think something like a pair of Tannoy Saturn S8LR, Tannoy Eyris DC1 or Tannoy Sensys DC1 could be good for this, too.

Regards,
Gordon.
