I Weep Because I Have No More Worlds To Conquer

[Jim Creek]

I upgraded my amp to a Purifi Eigentakt, my Preamp to a Topping Pre90, my DAC to an SMSL DO100, my headphone amp to a Schiit Modi Heretic. I love my 4 year old Silver 100 speakers too much to part with them. The upgraded electronics has made those speakers too good.

All my old electronics were around 7 years old. Now I have nothing left to upgrade.

Time to start getting weird with DSP!

If you're happy with those speakers I suppose....

I feel your pain. I upgraded from my integrated amp and ancient DAC to a Hypex Nilai stereo amp and Schiit Freya S pre and my DAC to Eversolo DMP A6 streamer. Sitting on the shelf I have new drivers and cross-overs to rebuild my speakers, but I'm so entranced by my new sound, I don't want to start the speaker upgrade.

Maybe add DRC, a couple of subs and some room treatment.
If these won't help you feel less empty inside.. well, at least your room will be less empty

But in the meantime, congrats on your system and enjoy the music!

those speakers

Not too foul in that price bracket;

Monitor Audio Silver 100 Review (Speaker)

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Monitor Audio Silver 100 bookshelf speaker. It is on kind loan from a member and was just discontinued. It still sells for $799. As you see, the Silver 100 is a very attractive speaker. It feels substantial compared to more budget speakers...

Just wait until you start noticing that "midrange glare."

Maybe you'll be able to fix it with some new cables,

MUSIC - that's all that matters now, so forget about the sodding gear and just enjoy listening to the music being played now you have the gear sorted!

Subwoofers would be a worthwhile addition, and a processor to integrate them, or just completely full-range loudspeakers.

Enjoying music is a relatively poor substitute for enjoying gear.

Not to be a party pooper here, but you basically spend quite a bit of money on the things that actually make the least difference in your whole setup, while speakers and room acoustics/correction are by far the largest contributors to sound quality. Regardless, you have some excellent electronics, for a very sensible budget, so don't worry too much

Now I have nothing left to upgrade.

I think you're just getting started
