    Thoughts on the Denon CEOL Piccolo N4?

    Thanks! Yes, I recently bought the Marantz M-CR610. It's an excellent device, but turns out to be bit overkill for what I need. I don't use the radio functions (FM, AM, DAB) – just internet radio. I also don't play CDs as often as I'd have thought. Although I collect CDs, I most often choose to...

    Thoughts on the Denon CEOL Piccolo N4?

    Ever since it's been announced, it has been pretty much quiet around Denon's new Piccolo N4. Even though it's been out for quite some time, I haven't come across a single review. Perhaps it's just me, but it seems if you're looking for an attractive all-in-one (well, besides speakers) system...

    Stereo speakers to go with the Marantz M-CR610

    So I've decided to go for the Concept 20 speakers, mainly because I like the fact that it has dedicated stands it doesn't look like your average workhorse speakers.

    Stereo speakers to go with the Marantz M-CR610

    @matthewpiano I don't know... I don't think What Hi-Fi has done a review of the Q100, which makes it hard to compare it with other speakers in that way. But if I'm going to do an audition, I might add them to the list. @manicm Is it that bi-wiring a bad thing or does it just make little or no...

    Stereo speakers to go with the Marantz M-CR610

    Thanks for your responses! It seems that my decision has become a little bit easier. My stands just broke – which I'm kind of happy about because they were awful. Lesson learnt: never buy stands with plastic screw thread. This means that the speaker size is less of problem now, since I'll have...

    Stereo speakers to go with the Marantz M-CR610

    First off, thanks for this awesome site. A few months ago, I bought the excellent Marantz M-CR610, not least because of its top spot in the 2013 Systems awards. It replaced the CD-player – a component of the Yamaha MCR-E300 system that I've had for almost 10 years. So my CD-player is replaced...
