^^^ Ban me [EDITED BY MODS - who have no opinion on the matter, but do on the use of foul language. And no.]

Why is what I've said rubbish? the Yamahas are active speakers shut they're not Hifi speakers, that what I said! theyre studio monitors which yes, sound fantastic in a close field set up but for hifi, they're not as well suited Plus us who the hell do you think you are writing what you have...

Personally I'd stay away from the Yamaha amp... Found it to be very poor, very clinical sounding and without a great soundstage... Heard it with the Dali Lektor speakers and M/A GX speakers also with a ribbon tweeter The Dali Icon speakers you've mentioned a great speakers and deserve much...

You'll not get true active speakers for your budget... You could, however, get studio monitors as mentioned above but beware, they're monitors and not true hifi speakers and won't give you the same sound as a Hifi set up would! You can consider powered speakers (one speaker houses all the...

See if you can get yourself something along the lines of a second hand NAD C320BEE via ebay etc... Great amp, bags of power and control, it was an award winner in its day and built like a battleship too :D

iTunes via my 2012 Mac Mini... Into my Cyrus 8DAC system via Airplay and an ATV3 connected to the 8DAC via optical - Livng room system My desktop system will be the optical out on the Mac Mini into a Fiio D3 DAC and into an ARCAM Alpha 5 amp and speakers yet to be chosen Dont do physical...

I have considered the Compact 1's but found them to be too small a soundstage and lacking quite severely in all honesty... i may may up my budget to cover the Dali Zensor 1's, they seem to get rave reviews

Let us know what music you generally listen to, how you'd have the speakers laid out, what the room is furnished with and how close you'd be to the speakers etc... More ideas can be provided then after that :)

Not interested in Mission speakers, only interested re views on the Wharfedales I've asked about... Please discuss your Mission fondness elsewhere

Great speakers... Always have a soft spot for these! Id be seriously considering the NAD C356BEE, an ex-demo/2nd hand Cyrus 8a or 8XP if you can find one. The Roksan Kandy K2 will work very well as would the LIII For or under your budget the Maranzt PM6005 is a great amp and one you should...

Tellurium Q Blue... Can't recommend it highly enough... Chord Odyssey is superb cable also

The CR610 is 60wpc... It'll drive the Dyns without any issues whatsoever As I've said, having owned the previous 603 and driven some pricey speakers with it and not easy to drive speakers, it never struggled! Paul, buy the Dyn's, you'll not regret it!

Paul Ignore the naysayers... If you've heard the Marantz 610 with the Dyn DM 2/6's and you think they're a great match, then that's all that matters! I, in the past, had the MCR603 and had with with all sorts of speakers from M/A BX5's to B&W CM5's to KEF LS50's to Neat Motive 2's and it...

No thanks; never liked Mission speakers; not the best sounding and always look cheap as well

Howdy folks... Very long time no speak; hope you're well well :) I'm 'buying blind' in regards to some desktop speakers for my rather large office desk; they'll be paired with an Arcam Alpha 5 integrated amp (40WPM of lovely Arcam warm 'smoothlyness') and fed by my Mac Mini/iTunes library via...
