Hi Guys,
I have read a previous thread in the forum saying that Akurate exakt box/DSM/4200 combination sounds too bright to endure, and now I meet the similar situation.
My previous Aktiv setup is Majik 140 / 6100D / 5125 D / Klimax Renew DS , sounds good with Linn taste but lacking bass and density sometimes.
Last month, I upgraded 6100 D to 4200 D and Renew DS to Klimax DS 3 katalyst, also Aktiv set up, the sound density is obviously improved and bass is much deeper than before and cannon imagine the bass is actually from Majik 140. Sound quality for Classic, Jazz is good, but pop song/Vocal is a disaster, especially voice from female singer is like screaming, treble (at most time, also the mid) is too too bright, and I think it is noise.
I little think that the upgrade will have this result. I understand adjustment of speaker position, changing some cables or put more carpets in the room will have some improvements, but those may not solve the real problem.
I wonder if some friends in the forum also meet similar problems . I may be wrong, but I think the main problem might lie in the Majik 140. Originally, before Aktiv, sound from 140 is like behind the curtain, dim without bass, and fortunately you can feel improvements for every step of upgrading investment, but to certain a level, Majik 140 may not be able to catch up and just beyond its ability to hold.
