    Marantz cr603 with Dali Zensor1 or MA BX2? Or other?

    I've got the CR603 and Dali Lektor 1's and they work brilliantly together in a small room,I can't give a more definate answer because I've never listened to the speakers you mention or tried mine in a larger room. Although having said that,in your position I might be tempted to try the BX2.

    Is it worth upgrading your Dac when you use the digital out on an Ipod ?

    My present system is a Marantz M-CR603 and Dali Lektor 1's and my 160gb Ipod classic is connected via an Onkyo ND-S1 dock and QED optical cable to the '603. My question is would I hear a difference if I upgraded to an external Dac in the £300 to £500 region or is the ipod as a source the...

    Recent Minx review - calling Clare

    I'm interested in the minx speakers too,especially the ones just reviewed in the June issue and I've been doing a bit of research online at both the Cambridge Audio and Richer Sounds websites,they make no mention of the upgraded min10's the min11.

    compact 5.1 speaker system to go with my Sony STRA2400es amp

    Good idea ,but my budget is limited to £500 max ideally less ,also i'm under strict instructions for the speakers to be as small as possible so I don't think I,d get the Q Acoustics past the "Boss".
