What's wrong with your current setup?

If your system is very new....suggest you give it a 400hour run.....
judging from your comment, can i assume you find the bass is lacking since you put in a sub?

i'm going to be brutal in this....so i hope you don't get offended

you took a wrong amp to drive the speakers

1. marantz may not be powerful enough to drive your dm 2/7.......ur dynas are 86db and you need at least a 200watts 'min sine' wave to drive your dynas. you also need to understand that the role off frequency for d dyna is 50hz....naturally you will find the 40hz range and below lacking. a full 3way would be better.....although if you look at high end bookshelves like SF Guaneri...those r different level of playing
2. your speaker positioning might be wrong. how do you position your speakers from the rear wall and side walls?
3. your speaker stands, the spikes and foot and might be setup wrongly. how tight you tighten up your spikes and shoes?
4. your speakers need 200hours run in....especially the mids
5. your power feed might not be clean or filtered too much or might even be not enough

i'm very familiar with dynaudio because i have been using them for many years and even have them in my car now...dynaudio is well known for its punchy mids and bass.....so if you are not getting such sound....something wrong with the setup
yes.....i have the dynaudio 240mk2 installed in my car.....and the only amp that can make it really sing is a macintosh....you are welcome to audition it in my car

krell S-550i in my opinion is not the full picture.....albeit it is a better amp compared to the marantz...driving the dynaudio with it is the right thing to do
without the right setup....your sound is still shitty...so you need to understand what went wrong with your current setup

next issue is going to be your power supply for the Krells....really power hungry
i hope you have dedicated power cable from your fuse to your wall socket.....and you have to have a high current cable like 10mm to 14mm otherwise it might make your amp sound limped

and your krells have XLRs....naturally they will sound more meat and louder.....which also means good XLR interconnects come into the picture

with such budget......you may want to look at Audio Research or Mcintosh

personally i'm running Audio Research cd and amps, Sonus Faber speakers, transparent Reference mm2 and Ultra interconnects and speaker cables, nordost power cables, quantum resonant power stuffs and harmonix tuning feets

at this level, even the damn rack makes a difference
a platform for the power makes another improvement

my final journey is the ultimate room dimension setup with the right power factor, floorings, sound proofing and the entire works

as to answer your question about which speaker is right...there is no right or wrong
focus on the very basic fundamentals and right setup

you can find my setup in the Sonus Faber tread.....some many post back

Krell S-550i is a fine amp.

IMO, ATC is overrated to my ears. The only good one is those more expensive ATC 100, which is huge and have big sound. But at RM100k, its high still lost to Focal Utopia Scalar, which is much more airy.

Dynaudio speaker on the other hand, is okay (general freq response across 3 range are acceptable, but never great. It lack of excitement. The price and performance ratio is no good.

I can suggest you to get Focal Electra 1038 BE, which truly impreseds as the cheapest realistic sound speakers that I had heard.

Anyway, it is just my ears. 

Hi,

I have set my mind to below budget stereo system:

stereo amp: NAD C352
cd player  : NAD C542
speaker    : B&W 602 S3 or Paradigm Studio 20 or Monitor Audio Bronze B2
interconnect : Van den hul the name or QED QUNEX 2
speaker cable : Chord Carnival Silver Plus Biwire

The question is how can i find these item in KL or Johor?

Any KL  people can help?

In additoin, how is the system sounds like?

I haven't decide the speaker yet and need go for more audition recently. Any recon show room in KL as i will wen to KL next week for holiday? Any reconmendation on speaker in that price range? (<RM1500)

Thanks in advance.

1. since you have ordered your Krells.....use them to drive your current dynaudios......let the system run in, then find the right spots and tuning.....understand where are your limitations....then only start to find things to compliment. buying a higher end speaker does not mean you get better sound. the more high end the equipment means the more precise and accurate; less tolerance for errors; in reproducing music.
that also means if you setup it up wrongly or put it in your current spot for example; it may amplify the wrong things and become worse

2. 2 dedicated power lines.....can i assume one for amp and the other for cd? if yes, make sure the cd power line is not too thick, otherwise it might get too coarse. power conditioner will help but becareful in choosing one.
try to use wattgate gold for your sockets.

3. spikes are resonance grounding......your sound will be impacted by it. your current issue might be due to resonance deadening too fast
there are many good bookshelves out there

those bookshelves that impresses me (not in sequence order)

1. Sonus Faber Guaneri
2. Sonus Faber Cremona M Auditor
3. Opera Callas
4. Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signature
5. Focus Audio FS6 SE
6. Focal Electra (can't remember the model)
7. B&W 805s

For that budget I can set you up with a full 5.1 DALI Mentor Series setup, and then some.

Maybe Krell has not been able to send him units? Did he say it was ready stock when your ordered?

Well, I honestly am sorry for you not being able to get the setup you want. Those are awesome speakers. Is there anyone else you could contact for the Krells?

I usually only recommend stuff that's available in store. I forgot how many times I have to say no because we didn't have that model in hand. I'm also doing this part time , there is sometimes regrettable delay on my part for not being in store all the time, and I owe some people here replies too, but for them to delay up to three weeks I can't explain.

I wish you well in hunting for those fav speakers of yours. 

I have auditioned your 2/7 before, i loved it. I heard it with Audio Research gears at the time. Hope you dont mind me chime in a bit. i do agree with the other bros that Marantz 6004 is under powered to drive a 2/7 properly. However, done correctly, it can be fantastic.

Different people have different taste, to some people, Dynaudio is considered slow, but to others, its just right  Personally i like Dynaudio Contour S1.4 the best over Confidence series. I am fortunate enuf to have audited many Dyns own by my fren.

Hope you can get your gear soon. I know the feeling of meeting sellers who are disinterested in me despite cash in hand and ready to spend.

The Guaneri is top of the range....expect top of range price...hehehehe

Dlyz..go for audio research d.

I think there's a set of audio research sp7(or is it ls7, cant remeber) pre and vs100 power going on used market

I had that combo driving my domus grand piano last time
It was crazy!!!!!

Thanks for the feedback. After going to CMY today, I got poisoned by the dynaudio dm2/6. I have revised my budget to 6k for speakers, amp and cd with USB player. However I read that even marantz pm5004 is not enough to power up these speakers. Do you sifus have any suggestion on other amps and CD players to pair with the dynaudio dm2/6 within my 6k budget? Thanks for your help.

GI Jie, why not sell your system away since its sort of new

GI Jie.......after my renovation complete and tuning complete....time for poison eh

fyi....Alvin will be tuning with me in my new room.....

now in design, planning and material selection stage

stay tuned

wah lau eh.....hushymushy truly salute and respect GI JIE......
this is like the king of cables and one of the high high end stuffs

ur cable can buy half my system d
hahahahahahahaha
