Power is not the issue.

Sounds like he has an issue with his listening room... - kootenay 13:50:26 08/22/24 (0)
Everybody has its own preferences. I have a dedicated listening room with ample of room tunes which means the room is not bright to say the least. As I said I'm happy with the way the 801 S3 sounded as it synergized with the listening room much better than the Genesis III speakers that I also have.
That guy's challenge ... - E-Stat 13:10:54 08/22/24 (2)
"The room is too bright, there is glass in 2 of the walls, but that isn't going to change."
- Yes, we can always blame that the room is bright (nt) - Leo loves music 13:28:37 08/22/24 (1)

    "Changing the electronics made some difference, but usually not enough."
    
    He is also correct
    
    "I can tell you from direct, first hand experience, that in order to fix your problem, you need to get rid of the speakers. I can also tell you that you will definitely get rid of them. The only variable will be how much money spend trying to make them work."
Krell FBP 600 specs - Leo loves music 13:07:46 08/22/24 (3)
8 Ohms 600W
4 Ohms 1,200W
2 Ohms 2,400W

If this Krell doesn't have enough power, what else has? spaceX?
- Perhaps... - kootenay 13:52:03 08/22/24 (2)
  You should try it to see if you like it or not.

    Yes, everybody has his own preference. I do not like bright at all. I need midrange correctness.
    I have achieved my goal. But I didn't try to matching the AMPs. I just used some natural sounding AMPs.
    Thanks for the help.
    This guy is correct again
    "Keep in mind that any bandaid components you buy now, will probably not be a good match for whatever speakers you buy when you replace the B&W's."

    - Agreed... - kootenay 16:04:18 08/22/24 (0)
      I also abhorred the bright-sounding system as well...however, as always there's a place for everything and everything has its place. The bright-sounding system can be useful if the listening is unusually dead.
