Hi everyone,
New member here, but it looks like a place I can enjoy. I currently have a 300b SET amp that puts out about 10 watts that is driving Paradigm speakers. I really like the sound of my system- nice soundstage, a lot of details and just very musical. I listen to a lot of jazz, and cymbals and brushes sound amazingly detailed. I have a pair of subwoofers nicely integrated into the system.
As much as I like the system, I think it is time to take it to the next level, so I am considerig buying a top-of-the line Audio Note 300b SET kit, and some more efficient speakers (the Paradigms are fairly efficient, but I think I couild improve the dynamics with more efficiency).
I have been leaning towards Audio Note Speakers like the AN/E, or Devores, but have been hearing some really good things about the Omega AlNiCo XRS with hemp cones. I like the concept of a single driver, they are beautiful to look at and the price is very attractive. I guess the one thing I am concerned about is will I be giving up some detail in the high end without a tweeter? I'm not so concerned about the bass. I'm not concerned that the specs go to 18kHz as at 57 I'm sure that's at the limit of my hearing, but I am concerned about the quality and details in the highs.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Ray
