Hi, I recently delved into the home stereo world. With no prior knowledge and only by a friend recommendation, I first bought Sansui A60 in near perfect condition. Then just by how they look and thought price is good, I got Tannoy Eclipse 2. I thought it's not a bad beginning in terms of sound. Then I started to get familiar with this and that and got Arcam A19. At first me and the wife were in no doubt it sounded better. Then I decided to pair it with b&w P4. They sound awful, with each of the amps... Muted and unclear, boomy bass and no trebles. Now, I know these require 50w min from an amp and the Arcam is 50 and the sansui is even 45. Can someone clear it for me if this is the reason please?
The other thing is, when swapping everything about trying to find out which combination currently at my disposal is best, I now like the original sansui-tannoy more than the arcam-tannoy. I'm confused, am I doing something stupid... Having decided to sell the sansui and find a match for the arcam, now I am totally confused if I should keep it and sell the arcam... or just sell everything and go completely different route.
sorry for my lack of experience guys, I hope someone can spare their time for an advise. Will be much appreciated
