I am looking for a more "ripe" color sound

Posted by amistf@tiscalinet.it (A) on May 30, 2009 at 03:00:30

My system (see below) is very detailed, warm, very good 3D soundstage, but I would like the color, the timbre, of the instruments more "ripe". It sounds a little bit whiteish. Summing up I would like it, a little bit more "colored" (in the right sense...).
I hope it is clear what I mean (think at oboe or clarinet more "red")

My current system:

Marantz SACD S11 S2
Krell 400xi integrated amplifier
Martin Logan Scenario loudspeakers (with Harmonix RF 900 spike shoes)
ASI liveline loudspeaker cables
ASI liveline or Audioquest Sky or Stealth PGS Gold interconnects
NeutralCable Power Cords (I am waiting for two ASI liveline power cords)
Digital gear filtered with Sound & Magic filter).

Marantz sits on a Sound Mechanics Performance board
Krell sits on a Sound Mechanics PX2000 board
Everything on Solidsteel rack (with Harmonix RF 909X spike shoes)

Any suggestions (I will post this both in tweaks and in cables)?
Thanks
