Hello all. Looking for advice.
My system is an Innous Server, Chord Qutest DAC, Goldpoint Attneuator, Kurashima 45 Set Amp, and Lowther Alerion rear loaded horn speakers. The link is to a review of the Alerions as many may not have heard of them (as I recall when I purchased from Jon VerHalen, my speakers were in fact the test units).
This set up is to me anyway, about as good as it gets listening to jazz trios, quintets, and even some of Duke Ellington's larger band offerings.
It is good, if not always optimal for solo classical piano, chamber music and voice recordings.
Where it leaves much wanting is symphony recordings. On many recordings one might almost think someone had cut the power during the more quiet movements.
For example the other night listening to Mahler's 6th (Deutsche Grammaphon Weiner Philharmoniker) my volume selection was fine for the opening Allegro and Scherzo. But then when the Andante movement started I could not hear a thing.
As there are good number of what appear to be more efficient speakers or powerful amplifiers around the same price, I am conflicted as to which way to go.
Wondering if any of you have experienced similar challenges and how resolved. Thank you.
