    Thanks Doug. I take it you also like the pairing with the Marantz? They may be out of my price range.

    Thanks. I had previously considered these with my old amp but never got round to listening to them as always thought the amp was too weak. I might now give them a try.

    Thanks. I have previously read up on the eb's and followed the press since the company was taken over by true new owners. Do you thInk the Marantz will be capable of powering them ok?

    Speaker suggestions

    Hi Folks My current setup is as below, but I am about to be given a Marantz PM7005 amp by a relative who no longer uses it. I have heard their set up using some old Mission Floor Standers which sound good (much better than what I have) but their room is also much different to mine. I have long...

    Dali Zensor 3 vs Wharfedale 225 vs Elac B6

    what speakers do you currently have? That amp deserves better speakers than the ones you have mentioned.

    Just a very simple question really

    The UNITILITE does not have a phono input to directly connect a Turntable to. You will need to purchase a phonostage and connect it via the analogue input on the rear.

    Interesting clip for any budding audiophile

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08l9cfm/click-inside-brians-brain Watch it from 17.20mins. That's where it begins to talk about sound. A bit extreme but interesting that they say and show how mains quality does effect sound. Not that I want to start a debate on that, just thought I would...

    Very quick marantz question

    There are numerous items that pop up on Amazon now that are advertised as new and are substantially cheaper than anyone else. But they alway say you have to email them before purchase. I almost fell victim to one for some speakers but emailed Amazon first and the item was taken down. You make...

    Really. Wow that's interesting. I would ideally love to rent the amps ima, interested in and try at home. Do some retailers allow home trials?

    What upgrade will make biggest difference?

    I am just after some advice and opinion as to what part of the system (when upgraded one piece at a time) is likely to make the biggest difference to the sound? I am planning on changing my entire system (amp, CD player and speakers) but I can not afford to do it all in one go. Have had a few...

    Aftermarket/audiophile power cables. Surely they make a difference??

    Hey Al ears. Ha, comment was more of a joke. I'm sat listening to Ed Sheeran's new album loving what I am hearing, so no real need to spend money here right now. I am interested in the cables discussion though so will follow and read. I personally think that if you have a system and want to...

    Aftermarket/audiophile power cables. Surely they make a difference??

    So do these cables actually work then or what? Or do some people just think they do and others think they know they don't? *biggrin* *bomb*
