Hi,
Thanks for replying to my post. The Monitor Audio's have been with me since 4 months now. And i think they have been burnt-in for sum 250 hours already. Previously i had been using them with my intergrated tube-amp ( Jolida), with which i took a demo in my room before i purchased them. But now my set-up is on the higher side, Mark Levinson & Proceed, so why are these behaving wild????

  character of your system. No surprise, particularly when going from tubes to solid state.
  
  Before, your speakers were taken for walks by a Corgi; understated in it's approach, composed and purposeful. Now your speakers have a red setter on the end of the leash and they are a little overwhelmed.
  
  You have two choices - upgrade the speakers or change your amplifier. You don't have to go back to tube amplification to get satisfactory results, but your speakers are refined beauties and deserve something with more subtlety than amplification built for driving current-hungry speakers in large rooms.
  
  I'd suggest trying a Sugden A21SE if you have a smaller room. Or going back to tubes with something like a Prima-Luna Dialogue 2. Otherwise, Naim's Supernait will likely prove to be a great partner for the GS10's, or the Naim Nait XS if you want to keep the price down a little.

    Hi,
    Is there another alternative to changing components? Coz ive recently changed all the components with a hope to upgrade the tone...but i guess the Mark Levinson & Gs10 are too sensitive to their sources.
    A ship is safest at the harbour, but that's not what its made for....

    I have Naim Nait XS driving Monitor Audio RS6. Very nice combination. Plenty of well defined bass, nice overall sound.
