Hi, I'm new here on the forum and also relatively new to the hifi scene. I've bought myself a second hand system (speakers are new) but find the sound lacking in detail. I use Monitor Audio RX2 speakers, and while they are very enjoyable to listen to, I get a cleaner and more detailed sound image when I plug in my headphones.
I wonder what causes this difference? Can anyone make a suggestion on how to enhance the sound produced by the RX2's?
My setup is as follows: Music Hall a.25 amp and cd.25 cd-player. The speakers are connected with 4mm thick copper wire.
