Hi everyone,
I recently moved from an apartment to a much larger house. My listening area has nearly doubled along with higher ceilings. I used to be really happy with my system in a near field setup but now my system just sounds “ok”. Sound stage seems smaller, less detail, less bass, an overall much less engaging experience.
I thought maybe the larger room is just too much for my tube amp. It’s a Dennis Had kt150 Firebottle pushing Salk Songtowers with ribbon tweeters. I’ve been reading a lot about the speed and control of solid state amps in the low end, and I have been thinking that would be something to explore in this larger space. I’ve been taking a long look at the ps audio m700 mono blocks.
I added a subwoofer today and that helped a great deal, but still not hearing the layering and separation that I had enjoyed some much in the small space.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
