If I'm understanding this correctly, you've modified your room to make it bigger and now things sound a bit "lifeless"?
I'm afraid the only cure for this is: 1) more efficient speakers, with more bass capability to drive the enlarged room properly 2) a bigger, beefier amp (but only after 1 above) 3) an external DAC like the new MF M1 (but only after 2 above) So, start with the speakers. Go to a shop - have a listen. You are driving a bigger volume of air now so you NEED more muscle in the speaker department to recapture the sound you had before. I'd look at floorstanders - Tannoy Mercury Custom F4 maybe? or Q Acoustics 2050? Your Wharfedales are only 86dB/W... The Tannoys at 91dB/W are nearly twice as effective at driving the same room space! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
