Hi, this is my first post here so please bear with me!
I need some help please, for quite a few years I had been running an Exposure 2010S amp and CD player through a pair of PMC TB2 speakers and, other than being a bit bass light I was happy with the sound I had, having sold off a bunch of bass guitars I decided to upgrade my speakers and brought a set of Monitor Audio Gold 100's, having integrated them in to my system I found that I love the increased clarity in the top end and I love the tighter more expressive bass end, however, I found I was driving the amp far harder and overall the sound failed to fill the room in the same way the PMC's did.....I spoke to Exposure and they confirmed my thinking in that the Monitor Audio's were more power hungry and that a power amp would help the situation, so I have purchased an Exposure 2010 power amp to go with the amp (Exposure confirmed that the amp was absolutely fine to work alongside the 2010S amp) I have now integrated that into the system and confirmed it is working, I am now driving the 2010S at far lower volume to fill the room...however, this seems to have come at the cost of the beautiful clear sound stage the amp used to offer, my best description would be that the power amp seems to have muddied the sound up?
My rabbit hole is that I seem to be adding items that should be improving my sound yet the sound seems to be going the wrong direction....any ideas please?
