    Advice on upgrade please! Onkyo CR-N755 to Marantz pm6005?

    thank you dave and ketan for the info. honestly, very useful. Today on ebay I managed to purchase the exposure 1010 amp and cd player (like new) with some Kef Q5 speakers (one needs repairing) for £425. I realise I haven't tested the amp yet with my speakers, so it could be a mismatch, but for...

    Advice on upgrade please! Onkyo CR-N755 to Marantz pm6005?

    Thanks for the information above. I was personally looking for an amp that was stripped down to the basics, and focussed on performance above other things (i.e. looks, features). I want to get as much musical quality as possible for my money. With regards to the lack of tone controls as...

    Hi dave, many thanks for that advice. It turns out there's a hifi place in exeter that stocks both those amps, so I'm going to go down and have a listen. It is a little out of my budget, but I can wait and save a bit more if it's worth it.

    Hello Folks, Thanks in advance for any advice. It's very much appreciated. So I'm looking to upgrade my system. Currently I have an Onkyo cr-n755 going into Dali Zensor 3 speakers. I only really listen to music from my computer, and for that reason I got an Arcam r-Pac. All the cables and...
