Hi all
Just needing a sense check on the most likely variables here…
Having bought the start of a new system at my gfs flat that on paper should knock pants off my current set up at my place, it’s not really feeling like it. Rooms are pretty similar (both in London Victorian terraces) - so just wanted to hear from you guys which culprits would be next to play with…
OLD:
Denon x2300 av receiver
Jamo C93
Jamo C9 centre
Jamo C91 surround
REL T zero sub
(Tried my amateur best to integrate sub - think I did an ok job)
NEW:
Denon x2700 receiver (so basically same model level)
Kef LS50 meta
Kef R2C centre
the difference is across movies (obvs sub and rears a big thing there), music both bassy and non bassy.
the Jamos just seem so much more full, present, fun. Make the Kefs sound completely lifeless to be quiet honest.
should a sub help (1400 for the matching kef one!)? Is the receiver way too weak for the KEFs? Or did I make a bad purchase and this is just personal pref that my old much cheaper set up suited me just fine?
