Well
@Paul7777x
Hope you had a good Christmas and New year.
Looking for some further advice.
I have added a Rega Planar 1 to my system, with the carbon cartridge I was "happy" but not satisfied,
I replaced the cartridge to an AT-VM95E, while this did improve the sound I am still not hugely impressed. I have done some asking around local ( in Ireland ) dealers and almost all of them are agreed on the Oberon 5's as a fantastic speaker.
The think is I find the system is certainly lacking in treble ( cymbals etc )
On streaming from the wxad 10 it is there, but could be better.
On CD it is debatable.
On Vinyl. I really don't know what to say, some albums are "ok" for want of a better word. Others are just dull sounding. Plenty of bass, mids, but literally zero treble.
One dealer in particular said personally he would not have chosen the Rotel A11 tribute for playing Vinyl.
I had considered replacing the oberon 5's with B&W 606 s2 Anniversary editions, but as said above, all agreed on the oberons being a better option.
So,
The question goes, "where do I go from here."?
I did a google search for "Best amp for oberon 5 "
The Marantz PM7000N came up quite a lot.
As did the Rega Elix-R ( which you did suggest ) but as far as I can see there are no adjustments on the rega for bass/treble? I do like to have this option as no 2 people hear the same thing.
The Marantz in slightly more expensive, but I wont do anything for some weeks. ( thats if I can sell my A11 and CD11 .)
Open to other suggestions within reason.
Thanks again
