Cheers to everyone for the opinion, much appreciated.

However, and pardon me if this seems out of line for a new member, but
I am not convinced that its helpful or necessary for members of this
group to start slanging
matches. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and although this can be
disagreed, I dont seee why it has to be done in this manner.

I came here for advice as I was getting knowhere, and more than a
little frustrated, with a supposed highly rated combination of
equipment. The majority of you guys gave good advice. I'm have read
many hifi magazines so do have an awareness of how a hifi fits
together. However audiophil I am not. So I figured why not, lets give
it a go. To be honest this group is the first chance I have had after
many years,

One thing does seem certain is that my speakers are badly placed but,
on the other hand, my system is not a crock, which is a relief.

The speakers are, perhaps as stated, not rock speakers. However I do
value detail in my sound, of which apparently the quads, arcam and
roksan deliver in spades. However, as it is known this is not
happening.

I think, I hope, that my new house will be more kind to my setup !

Cheers all,

I believe you've got good sense, if your connected properly,
your power source is clean and to spec for your region,
gear set to correct mains power, you should be getting good
results. If your expecting a lot of bottom at loud levels, then
you might not have the best speakers for that.
You know your music best, play a couple different genres and
see if one is better for the system. If they all sound odd, something
is out of spec. Try substituting cables first, then source player,
then speakers if possible. You may get lucky and figure out where
your problem is. It may be the gear.
Good luck.
