Have just got new PSB Image B25 bookshelf speakers for my Yamaha RX-V496 but it sounds too dull and not satisfying at all. I am using a philips dvd player as source. For a decent stereo sound, should I change the amp or the source? what gear would be better.
I have seen lot of ppl from this forum are NAD fans...Would C320BEE be a option too. Does the source matter...or i can pull for somedays with the philips dvd player before i buy a NAD or marantz cdp
Nike and Mitchell, I looked a little further into the psb B25's, and yeah, I might need another pair of fronts for upstairs! Where did you guys buy them?
Mitchell - tried connecting a Marantz CD6000SE, the sound improves but can't compare it with the one I auditioned the B25 with. (i am talking abt NAD52i CDP with 520BEE) Thats the reason i thought the amp to be the weak link.
but how dull is the sound? Well, dull means i feel like there is one more grill on the speakers. (i listen to speakers without grills, still...)
Their should be a big difference between a Phillips DVD player and NAD dedicated cd player. However, the source player wasn't the only change to the system - he went from a Yamaha receiver and Phillips DVD player to a NAD integrated amp and CD player.

Sorry I didn't read that correctly the first time. Even still, I had no idea that the DVD/CD combo could be that lacking in sound quality, as compared to a straight CD player.
So, the PSB's are a pretty good bookshelf speaker for the money?
