Now that is rather tempting. Where abouts are you based? Sadly I wasn't able to make it to the shop on Saturday so I wasn't able to demo anything.

Lots to think about and lots to try on Saturday. I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for all the advice.

Thanks for the advice. It was only yesterday that I realised that my speakers only cost me £30!! I'm planning on heading over to a local-ish shop to demo some speakers next weekend so will see what happens then. For me I think the bass and a bit of warmth is missing from my current set up.

About 6 years I bought my first hifi set up which consisted of a Denon PMA 250SE amp, Sansui Sr222 turntable and then some cheap Mordaunt Short MS10 speakers. Slowly I've upgraded everything with the exception of the speakers, I now have a Pro-jet Essential III turntable and a Marantz PM6003...

Thanks for that Dave. I'd never thought of doing that and it sounds like a good option. I wasn't sure if I was best to go new or second hand. Constantly reading that you get more for your money if you buy second hand. I like like my old amp but I just feel like a change as I'm getting more...

Nearly two years ago I bought my first hifi setup, I opted for secondhand as I was on a very limited budget and I'm now at the point of thinking I should upgrade. I am hoping to do it gradually as I can't afford to go all out but I'm not sure whats best to do. I currently have a Denon PMA250SE...

One more thing that I should add is that kiln dried sand has been added to these speakers, does this greatly affect the sound?

Hi I'm having a bit of a dilemma about some floor standing speakers and my Denon PMA 250se amp. I have come across some Tannoy Revolution R3 floor standing speakers on gumtree for about £140. I'm always looking for something new to add and wondered if these would be a good edition. Any thoughts...

Ok definitely getting it fixed. Will be next month and I'll also keep an out for some speaker stands. I've been thinking of getting some for a while. Like most of the system I'll have a look over time and try and get the best deal. Thank you all for the advice!

from what I can see parts seem to be quite cheap so an upgrade would be excellent. The gentleman I spoke to said that replacement parts from it have deteriorated in recent years and that they were very hit and miss. Is this true?

As a starter I thought it would be best to go for second hand in order to get more for my money, plus I wasn't overly fussed about buying brand new. I did some research but took a bit of a punt on some of it. All in all it didn't really cost much and I got some bargains. I managed to get the...

Sounds like I've managed to get a pretty good CD player then. Definitely a repair job after payday I think.

Thanks for the replies. I had a feeling that would be the response, I seem to have read everywhere that it is a good player. I'm hopeful that this is the only problem with it. A CD will play and it does sound good but after a while the CD will stop turning and the machine won't play it. As...

Hello! My profile may say I've been here a while but I think I can safely call myself new to the whole HIFI scene. Over the past few months I've built what I'd say is a decent starter setup. I have a Denon PMA 250SE amp paired with some Mordaunt Short MS10 bookshelf speakers, an Onkyo DS-A3...

Right I've delayed it and seemed to have missed on some bargains. There is a Denon 255se amp going on ebay now for £50 including postage, is that a decent enough deal or can I get one cheaper?
