Natomiast przed zmiana wzmacniacza, to bym polecal poeksperymentowanie z akustyka pokoju (dywan na podłodze, może kilka paneli akustycznych na ścianach itp.

I have tried many amplifiers. It really comes down to personal taste. If you divide amplifiers into 2 groups, 1. Fast and 2. Mellow, than Yamaha is more on the fast side, while MF on the mellow. I ended up with 2 amplifiers, Primare i25 -very fast and Primaluna Evo100 - a lot of fun to listen to, on mellow side. I like Primaluna more than MF . On the fast side Primare is similar to the new Technics or Marantz (class D amps). I like the Yamaha CD players.

Sounds good, rich & full but however the added subwoofer introduces lots of rumble in the low frequency. Surely this rumble will distort/interfere in the vocal region. If you love clean, beautiful, organic, sweet vocals..you will find by adding the subs, eventually, you misses something magical in the vocal region. That's what I had experienced.

On that recording I am using 2 subwoofers. Primare i25 has all the good qualities of Musical Fidelity, Exposure and Naim, but it also sounds like an amp from $10k+ bracket. The sound of Primare is fast, open, clean, clear and dynamically expressive. It's very impressive. Although sometimes I am using Primaluna which is very fun to listening to, the sound is more like a liquid and 3 dimensional.
