My audio system has become detrimental to my health, as all I want to do is sit on my rear end and listen to music the whole day through. My audio system is relatively simplified compared to others. My listening room, although smallish, is large enough for the speakers to open up just beautifully at all volume levels. That's because the tremble and bass outputs on the Salons are adjustable and can be toned-down to accommodate smaller rooms. The Salons are also down-firing, which allows for closer to the back wall room placement. For my sized room, the extremely powerful and superb sounding Hegel H590 integrated amp does an excellent job of driving my relatively inefficient speakers. Yes, I'm in Heaven, as my audio system is capable of transporting me to another musical dimension, LOl. Happy Listening.
I was just curious if your Hegel is plugged into the Niagara power conditioner. If so, I think you might try plugging it directly into the wall. You may be surprised what a difference that will make in the sound.
