What to buy for older system: Penta III or something else?

22 replies

I still have my Penta III speakers, and they sound great. I boost the treble just a small bit to make up for the fact that they do lack crisp highs.

I bought a cheap Beocenter 9500 just to be able to try with another pre-amp, and with the 9500 at neutral settings i get more treble and mids than I got with the BM7000 set at +3. So I guess my trusty old BM7000 needs a rehaul then... (no, the 9500 is not a permanent solution, I prefer to have a 7000 in this room).
