Hi everyone!
I have been doing a lot of reading but I am still very much uncertain of what I should do... Your suggestions would be appreciated.
My current equipment consists of:
Arcam AVR 350
JM Lab (Focal) Chorus 715 (

JM Lab (Focal) Chorus CC 700 (center channel in link above)
Source: flac files pushed to Arcam by PC using 96/24 PCM over Toslink.
My room is about 15 ft x 15 ft.
I mostly listen to music (jazz, pop, vocal but no dance or rap). I use the center channel for TV and movies.
I am actually quite happy with my current setup. So much so that I believe it could sound even better...
The one thing I wish I could improve was the slight harshness of the trebles. I am thinking that my Focal speakers are of an older series and that since then, even the very same manufacturer has progressed on the tweeters of these entry-level speakers.
Since I overall very much like the sound of Focal, I am considering the current sale on the Focal Profile 918 ($2000). It seems to me like it would be a nice upgrade which could not only upgrade my tweeters but the whole spectrum. Of course, I would have preferred to listen to it first but it is a discontinued model.
Should I go about it differently? Reconsider the amp? Bi-amp my current speakers? Adapt a better tweeter in them? Consider another speaker entirely (knowing that I am at the very upper limit of my budget with the quoted upgrade)? Wait and build a bigger budget for a real upgrade?
Thank you!
