I don't know if this was due to poor room acoustics but my pair of LS50 Meta's sounded muffled with the Powernode N330.

I got the Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 and I immediately noticed an improvement in clarity. After setting up RoomPerfect, they sounded even better.

Perhaps the LS50 Meta's are too demanding? I thought the Powernode was supposed to be at least decent.

P.S. What's the best way to sell a used Powernode?

How far do you sit from the Metas? Do you cross over to sub?

So many people have found that the LS50 works better with some amps than others.

Yeah. Should have gotten the Lyngdorf from the beginning.

I think room correction is highly underrated too. It is one of the few things that most people can immediately hear the difference. Unlike audiophile-grade USB cables. :)
