Hi all Thanks for your varied replies. No surpise that opinion differs quite widely :-) I am intrigued by the idea that the amp is not the weak link, as I had assumed it to be, albeit one opinion differs. As to the room, that is a necessary compromise really. It is a small space, with...

Hi all I have a system comprising Rotel RA-02 amp and RCD-02 cd and B&W DM601 S3 speakers. The CD is hardly used now since virtually all listening is through a logitech squeezebox which has given me excellent multi-room listening for 10 years now. I do still play vinyl from time to time as...

The AKG K551 is pretty much the K550 with a shorter lead and idevice controls. I don't think it lacks bass so much as presents a truer representation of sound. Basscadets can but beats headphones, which I find very unpleasant. Anyway, the o.p. stated "i want a pair of headphones mainly for...

AKG K551. If you can live with big then these are fantastic. They are the only on ear headphones I can comfortably wear for any length of time because the pads envelope and surround your ear rather than sitting on them. I initially thought the b&w p5 would be for me but the comfort just wasn't...

thx all, handy advice, so looks like I'l be dropping the idea of a centre speaker... Have had a look at the linked subwoofers and the smallest one looks ideal. I'll look at others too. Not sure about how to wire it in to a stereo amp with no sub out, but I seem to remember reading something...

Hi no the centre would be l&r channel, the amp has outputs for two sets of speakers. the centre would run from one set taking l&r channel... or would that not work?

Hi all any advice on this please. I have b&w 601 s3 speakers in a smallish room. They are placed either side of the tv but are quite close together due to the room size. That said they sound great but I was thinking of how to improve the bass response and have seen the matching b&w centre...

To Will I read your comments with interest. I have a BDPS-370 too an was wondering about Jamcast. Can you explain how it works? Do you use the laptop to choose your music or can that be done via the sony's on screen interface? Cheers, Ant

I need a day job to survive. I don't see why a musician needs to be different. I put in 40 hours a week, some musicians may put in the same or even more, many will not. There seems to be an expectation that to be a successful musician you should also become a millionaire - and preferably not pay...

WAY too expensive. I spent years and thousands on a fairly limited collection (<1000 cd's) and then months ripping it all to flac for streaming. Now I have a nokia comeswithmusic phone and this gives me 2 years unlimited downloads to my phone and pc AND I get to keep all the tracks once the...
