RTI a7 and amp

bigburb

Hello, I've been reading forums trying to get as much info as i can, fell down many rabbit holes, lol. My system is made up of a Pioneer SC-1228k AVR, Nad BEE 316 powering the front RTI a7's. Avr powers csi a4 center and fxi a4 surrounds. Currently have a sound dynamics sub, (getting replaced by a svs 1000pro or a Tonewinner sw-d2000). Yamaha CD player and a Music Hall USB-1 Turntable. So my question is...Would I hear a difference in sound quality going to a more powerful amp? Looking at a Nad c272, (i keep reading about these speakers benefit from more power, quality power, to make them come alive, getting the ah ha now i hear it feeling). Also for some reason my turntable seems muddy sounding compared to C.D.'s or streaming music, volume actually seems lower, yes the pre amp is on, it's connected to CD in on AVR, set to stereo or pure doesn't change much, kind of disappointed. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, more power would definitely bring those speakers to life. I suggest looking for a warm to neutral amp. A powerful Nad is probably a good choice, as is a parasound HCA-1500, or a B&K reference amp, amoung many others.

I don't have any clue about your turntable issue, as I am all digital. Sorry..:

Do you have your turntable connected to the "CD" input on your receiver?

It sounds like that is what he is doing using the phono stage that is built into the turntable. There should be a switch on the back to switch between line level and phono. I believe it should be set to line level if it is going to the CD input and phono if it’s going to a phono input but the manual should be checked before switching it.
