good advice from dave but if you go from an optical out on your tv you can listen to everything through the amp. this will really bring music channels and films to life. hopefully your tv has a toslink out or else the op would be better with something like spiky had advised to convert the...

marantz always pair well with the bronze ma's. i have not heard your speakers but if anything like the ma standard then the smoother amps around suggested above should pair well. not sure about rotel tho

check em out, local to you and the standmounters can rock

great post, its why upgrading scares the pants off me.

as said above the only instruments producing those frequencies are only heard in concert halls or churches, if you have a large room with high ceilings then you can go for it via a big ass sub or some 15 inch monster drivers. maybe even then you need a solidy constructed room, ie old stone...

try the rega dac first before worrying about xlr's, if your preference is to use the cd players dac then buy some xlr's from a pro audio shop or website. i for one would be interested to hear your views on the dac comparisons more than any balanced via unbalanced differences. thats not to say...

i might be being daft here but have you decided to keep using the rega dac, if you still have it, or the v1 straight into your new amp. this comparison will make any cable issues insignificant.

out of the original suggestions i would go for the icon if its got the grunt to control the bass on the quads. i would not expect that to be too testing but specs are not everything, (manufacturers at least). the top end tho should be sublime pairing them but thats just my guess as i have never...

so something japanese and built like a tank would fit the bill. i am thinking smooth or neutral would suit the missions so a decent mid to high spec sony or marantz. i would not dismiss pioneer either but a good sony/marantz will be easier to find and cheaper. if you have time to watch ebay for...

like some have said cyrus and dynaudio sound great together. a cheaper solution, if your amp has pre outs, would be sourcing either an 8 power or x power off fleabay or similar. one of those will transform your speakers.

i guess puppie pics have to be posted or do you still want kittens?

you are seriously underestimating your aiwa kit. and you know all amps sound the same as do digital sources the only improvement to be had is to use some bell wire. *blum3*

maybe you have reasons for not wanting to use it but a computer is going to do the exact same thing as a streamer. if you only want to output a data signal its going to sound identical to anything else.

i still think this thread needs more kitty pics, or baby penguins

i am using sennheiser 300's i think. you could be right about the differences being hard to hear as now i am starting to think that some of it is the walkman player on the sony phone. i had a samsung before, (my first after 3 other sonys), and i thought the music player was awful. its all fine...
