Not sure that I can rationally explain why the sound from the Alexx is so dramatically better with the HI setting;perhaps due to speaker impedance? In any case, I'm so happy the Alexx is singing and performing as it should. This setting is clearly a much better match for the Alexx. The source is the Linn Klimax.

I'm also relieved to hear that you found a solution. I've heard the alexx on a few occasions and was shocked that you found it lacking in bass. It's an incredible loudspeaker. Congratulations man. I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years to come!

Wow ! Amazing that all this was due to the gain setting on the preamp. Once again a proof of how dominant the preamplifier can be in a system. Cool that you found the issue.

Interesting that I'm reading this thread for the first time today. I listened to the Alexia 2's today with a Burmester 911MK3, MSB DAC (no pre), Aurender A10, Transparent XL and I experienced the same thing. Very clear and crisp sound but lacking bass or the full sound I know Alexia 1's can produce. Sounded a bit "tinney" (lack of full fat warm bass sound I'm used t hearing from Alexia's). I wonder if there could be something not right with the MSB DAC / Burmester combo.

Good to know Serge. If there were no issues and that's the sound of that pairing, then I agree... no likey! IF that's what I was hearing then I'm not a fan of the clinical sound either. I haven't listened to enough systems to have that reference, but that did not do it for me.
