Hi All,
I have a problem I am hoping you guys can assist me with. I am currently borrowing some Spendor D7 speakers to partner with my Expert 120 however, the sound isn't what I think it should be. It sounds lacking in warmth/organics and leaves me feeling cold. FYI when I first heard the Spendor D7 with the 200 at the Bristol show in 2014 it was the only system I liked and the sound was full of warmth and body and since have been thinking about building a Devialet with Spendor system, so I simply can't understand why I am not getting a similar sound. I have heard the Expert series at various other times and, to be honest, has never sounded like it did at the Bristol show but I though it was because I needed to hear them partnered with the Spendors, In fact I heard the Pro 220 along side my 120 with the Spendors and PMC speaker but again no luck, so I took the option to borrow them just in case it was a room acoustic thing.
FYI I have them set up with Devialet Air on windows 10, and Kimber 8TC speaker cable. At the shop they had Chord cable and a streamer box; so i don't think the issue relates to the delivery to the digital inputs or the speaker cable.
Any ideas guys? I want to stick with my Devialet if I can so I can be done with the HiFi chase so any help is appreciated?
