The amplification that i chose was finaly an Onix A65 dual mono which is more than adequate for the Focal 826V The A65 is actually a 2X65 W amp but with the current capacity of a 2X130 W amp. It seems that Amperres matter more than Watts in amplification ;)

You said it right...the guys here have a point! Firstly, i found an offer for a combo of second hand RC 1070 and an RB 1080 for 700€ and started breathing again :P Now i found an offer for a set of new Focal 826 V at 1335€ and things started to become interesting...much easier speakers to...

The truth is that the XTZ is way cheaper than his competitors and it would be interesting to have an audition...however it really looks ugly...but, this is how beasts look, don't they ? :P Anyone else having auditioned the XTZ A100 D3 ?

Sorry for being late answering to your usefull sugestions...Thank you all for that. As it seems, there is no way to keep the budget low buying these speakers... I could find the Rotel RA-1570 for 1270€ (2X120W @ 8Ω)...any experience with it ? Roksan Kandy K2 BT seems interesting but is hard...

Hey there! I think that finally the B&W 683 S2 meet my taste for speakers...However i am a bit confused about the amplifier to couple them... I am thinking about the Marantz PM 6005 but could it be weak to support them (the PM 6005 offers 2X45 Watt power output @ 8 Ohm) ? Do i really need a...

Info about the Marantz...anyone??

As my adventure in the Jungle of Hi-Fi continues, i met up an interesting compination...The Triangle Color floorstanders driven by a Vincent SV-400 amp. The result was nice with resolution and character. The treble was present and not too bright. The midrange sounded good and the bass was...

Thank you for your response...the Cantons seem like a bargain however there is no way to hear them (no availability in my area) except buying them first :)

...anyone ?

It is really hard to find reviews about this German made speakers... However their specs look awesome (3way design - freq. response 20Hz to 30KHz - 4...8 ohm impedance - 150W power handling - excellent design) Any experience - opinions about these speakers or the manufacturer in general ...

My budget is already focused on speakers than on amp, however Tannoy is pushing the limits :P As i realize it is really hard to find decent 3way speakers at this price range which is my main wish (3way instead of 2 or 2 1/2 way speakers) Moreover i realize that there is no competition about an...

Agreed but isn't it harder to setup a crossover when you are missing a dedicated medium frequency driver ? note: my mistake -->The B&W 683 crossover actually splits the medium frequencies to 2 drives (and not the low freq.) It makes me sound pretty old fashioned but somehow i think i should...

Lol that was quick! So...my budget is around 2500$ or 2000€ for an amplifier, a pair of speakers, a turntable and the appropriate cables Most of my music is mp3 @ 320kbps or losless flac which i use to airplay through an Apple airport express base station...i also have around a hundred LP's...

Hi all! It's my first attempt to build a decent system and after some searching googling and reading about technical stuff i - more or less - decided to move on with the above setup (Harman Kardon HK3490 and Bowers & Wilkins 683) which is close to my budget as well... Your opinion will be pure...
