A little surprised no-one's mentioned Tannoys! I wouldn't buy any of the new ones (unless you had some serious money for some DC8s) but you can pick up some retro second hand ones for peanuts, and i've never heard anything with more bass/mid presence. I'm not going to suggest they have the...

**edit** oops, double post. sorry, not sure how that happened...

Wow has this thread bloomed while I slept... @VOE "improvements closer to the musical source where significant gains can be achieved. Rubbish in > rubbish out etc" - Also makes sense. In my case though, I have a CD/Vinyl collection of approximately 0, and use the USB digital input of the...

@mathew Thanks for the suggestion, I've just read good things about the exposure series for rock music. If i get a chance to audition one (not sure there's any where in sheffield though) i'll definitely consider. @dave I'd never considered running the DacMagic straight into a power amp. I...

Hey there, just as a foreword: Currently running a set of Tannoy 611s from a A&R Cambridge Audio A60 Integrated Amplifer/DacMagic XS. Retro setup for a 20 year old student I know... I love the speakers, grew up around Tannoys and love the bass from the 4 8" drivers, so they won't be changed for...
