I got a new pre/pro.... Still working on the amp.
So, for temporary testing, picked up a "pro" amp from a music shop with a good return policy. It's a Samson 500, claimed to do 150x2 into 8ohms. However, new system sounds very bright... well, not overly bright but bass lacking. Is that typical of pro-amps? Figure they are usually intended for 4ohm loads and bass-y speakers, like dem big ole dj speakers.
Sometimes wonder if should get an EQ or stereo listening. Do eq's kill quality?
Oh well, guess I should hurry up and try a normal home amp with this prepro. Much happier with the brightness, but bass dissappeared - often a sign of lack of power. Maybe I should hook my prior reciever and try using it's 5.1/7.1 input to leverage it's internal amps to see if it's the prepro.
Thanks
