I have Dali Spektor 2's with my Ceol 9 and think they sound great. I haven't had them up at a volume I would really like yet though. Keep waiting for the neighbours to disappear for a weekend somewhere first :)

What sort of tape are people using to secure speaker cables to the floor? I've looked at other ways of securing/ hiding the cables but I think I'm just going to have to go with taping them down.

I have no advice to give here but I'd like to see a picture of the room :)

Hi Just got this set up and I'm very happy with it all. I'm not a hi fi afficionado so I can't really give an extensive view other than saying to my ears it all sounds very good. Prior to this I had a Denon UD M50 with the stock speakers and it sounds a good bit better than that. How much of...

Just realised I'd forgotten to ask, is it important to buy the same length of cable for each speaker (one is much closer to the amp)?

Like this? https://www.futureshop.co.uk/qed-79-strand-speaker-cable-custom-length

Ok, thanks for the help folks.

There's plastic there but it doesn't look as though it can be removed.

Yeah that's what I posted, they only accept bare wire/

Actually I've just got round to looking at the back of the amp (it's actually a mini hifi) and it doen't look as though you can connect to it using anything other than bare wire. It's a Denon CEOL N11. Here's a list of the inputs/ outputs

I know there's various threads about cables on here but as a complete noob to all this I'm hoping someone can answer some very basic (probably stupid) questions. I've bought some Dali Spektor 2 speakers and although the seller has chucked in some speaker cable it's not long enough so I'll need...

I've just purchased my first stands and some new speakers as well. Very much at the budget end of the scale as I'm just starting out. Having built the stands I'm now curious what people use to secure the speakers to them. They came with gel pads but they are only sticky on one side (the side...

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at a bundle that included Dali Spektor 2 speakers.

Hi It looks as though I'm going to buy a Denon CEOL N11 to replace my old CD player (also a Denon). Being a completely clueless noob to anything beyond the basics (plugging in some speakers) can someone advise from this pic if I'd be able to plug in a turntable, assuming the turntable has a...

In terms of a cd player this would be my priority first of all as I have about 600 cds but only about 5 lps. My current cd player is struggling at the moment to read cds and while I realise it might be something as 'simple' as cleaning the lens I do like the idea of something newer and a bit...
