Which kef's are you using? Feedback welcome. I've been eyeing up the q100 & 300s...

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. I've now bought a Yamaha A-S500 from Richer for £170 - it was a price too good to refuse while I was making up my mind! I wanted to steer clear of actives because I had a pair in my studio set-up and when the electrics went wrong, I lost EVERYTHING in one go...

I was thinking along the same lines, the difference being that my OH has stated that the new rears need to be smaller, not bigger than what she's just been very glad to see disappear. I also like the fact that my surrounds are all well matched, so there's no disconnect as a sound transfers to...

Thanks Overdose, I intend to audition a shortlist before purchase, but I was hoping someone could offer me an idea of what would compare to my 4is. Now i've heard this set-up, I don't want to take a step backwards! I've read a ton of reviews, but there's no point auditioning 'budget' winners...

Second impressions: Still loving it as a speaker amp. Couldn't be happier, esp for the price. BUT... Possibly the worst headphone out I have ever encountered! It might be the pairing with my AKG K271 studios, but it's overbright, sharp and introduces sibilance. If you intend to use it with...

Hi, Just came home with a Yamaha AS500 for £170 from Richer Sounds - deal of the year? Sounds awesome to me, straight off! This is my 2nd room set-up and I just robbed the rears from my main set-up to make the most of the new amp (Monitor Audio Silver 4is) - REALLY impressed. Trouble is, I will...

Thanks for the input. So something like the Audioengine A5+ then? I do like the look / reviews of those... I'm curious - why go for active speakers over a conventional integrated amp & passive speakers? (Space not really an issue)

Hey guys (and gals?), Long time lurker, first time poster... I guess like many people, I'm realising that most of my music listening is done at the desk in my office these days. So, with that in mind, I'm looking to upgrade my set-up (imac, Lindy DAC, Denon UD-M50). Nad's D3020 seems like a...
