There have been a few changes this year to my system.
The Bartok was changed out for the MSB discrete with the renderer module. This change yielded a more life like and natural sounding presentation. They also have an incredible upgrade program.
We added room treatments from Vicoustics. This was a huge change and upgrade to the overall sound in the room.
Now the big change was in the front end of the system. We changed out the Krell Duo 300xd to the Classe Delta seperates. The Classe was a nice change more of a side grade but I was really liking what they were doing with the Atria. I was in a place where this was going to be the amp that stayed with me for a while.
Recently an opportunity presented itself that was too good to not take a shot at. I changed out the Classe pre and stereo with what is for sure the endgame for sure. They were upgraded to the Dan D'Agostino momentum HD pre and M400 mono amplifiers.
This is the first time that I can say the system is lopsided. The Atria scale really well with gear though. I am definitely at my endgame for amps and pre amps for sure.
Update we upgraded from the Atria II to a pair of Rockport Cygnus. These speakers are incredible and allowed me to remove the subs from the system.
I am just waiting for my Premeir Dac to arrive and the system will be in the state that it will stay for a good while.
Well not even three months later and it is time for another update. The Cygnus are gone from the system. There is another speaker in their place and I will let that cat out of the bag soon.
With the change in speakers we decided to change out the amp and pre too. With the Premier in place we tried the MSB S202 and there is a synergy there. It is a lot less expensive than the D’Agostino, but doesn’t give up much to them. It removed t boxes from the system and freed up some cash for other things.
