Hello Forum members,
I have recently purchased an used Musical Fidelity A1 integrated amp from an audio enthusiast who is unfortunately not a FM here. I was previously using SMSL SA98E driving Fluance SX-6 bookshelf speakers.
SA98E is a class D, 160watt per channel amp, and could easily power the speakers. However, when i connected them to the A1, the difference in sound quality was very much evident and the hiss that i used hear from SA98e even at 0 volume level completely disappeared. A1 has excellent clarity though it's rated 20w per channel. But the problem now is that the speakers sound too bright with enhanced high and mid range. The Fluance SX6 speakers never sounded warm either, but when i had them connected to the SMSL SA98, they were not sounding great, but atleast they were not fatiguing during extended listening periods.
I am planning to add a subwoofer to see if that can fix this. Because the main speakers don't go any deeper than 60Hz. As i'm investing now on the subwoofer, i cannot think about changing the speakers now. Any other possible solution? Adding a DSP might be a workaround?
Thanks,
Robin R
