Then it looks forums and other people experience dooesn't help much. If the end advice is to go listen, then forum is just for fun and photos.

Exactly 😁 Kind of the 'experts', also the dealers.

Borea BR08 is suited for your room size and they are fabulous. Buy QED 79 cables with cold soldered banana plugs from the dealer. Do not spend more on cables, no point. In your place, I would buy YAMAHA RN803D as I can still find it.

They say to definitely invest more in speakers than in the amplification. For me in that price range there is Focal and Triangle, though I would favour Focal for TV, movies. Also have a look at EISA awards on floorstanders in the last years.

Don't know about BW, did not have the chance to listen to them. I had 3050i, still love them at 400 eur a pair. As I said, I first went for Borea BR09, in a 60 sqm open living, they are definitely an upgrade from 3050i but need some time to break in. Borea is a killer range of speakers, I...

A test for your system and placement: look for Jonah, Fisherman (from Get Physical Music), it's got 2 moments when treble sounds come right from 90 degree, it is very real and weird.

Probably pma 600ne is quite a different model, sounds bad comparing to Y on: 3050i, Wf Diamond 9.1, Mission Qx1, Borea BR09. On the other hand, I was able to mitigate the financial imbalance of my components by paying full standard price for RN803D and negotiating fiercely for the Australe...

I am not sure that the disparity between Rn803 and Australe is what makes pma 600 sound bad but have a nice wk

I also have a Denon Pma600ne, no good except with other basic gear like Pylon Audio Pearl 20. Sorry 🙄

I am attached to RN803D as it is such a complete package for the price, could only compare to other basic Denons (no match). Also coming from 3050i that are somehow towards open/ bright, therefore probably I am used to such character. Anyway, absolutely more than decent combo of Y plus Triangle...

I hope it is ok to mention here. I started with 3050i and Y AS701 as my first setup, love the 3050i, then 2 years after I tested intensively Borea BR09 (meant for large spaces, otherwise stick to 08) and decided to go blindly and directly for Australe EZ 😀 Current amplification Y RN803D.

Very nice, enjoy! I am accomodating my new Australes, very different from the sound of Aria (906 in my case).

I thought all SMSL is class D, sorry.

Look for SMSL VMV, various models. I am not selling, just trying to get the best sound for my buck. For ex. Loxjie A30 is a hit.

Keep an eye on SMSL.
