    Speakers to match with a Hegel

    Got that one since 1994... and have chosen that one as 'Mad Dog' was already way too used into air combat flight simulation games *pardon*

    Speakers to match with a Hegel

    I've just received my brand new H160... it is replacing my Roksan K2 and is coupled with some B&W CM9... The amp isn't broken in yet... but... you can already notice a fantastic control on bass, much more meat to the music... After a few hours, the K2 is already knocked out! *clapping*...

    Speakers to match with a Hegel

    OK guys you convinced me... I'm getting an H160... (currently owning a K2)... it will coupled some B&W CM9... (I know I know I'll get it demoed at home too... *preved* )

    Amp for B&W cm9 speakers

    I'm currently using them with a Roksan K2... the plan is to upgrade the amplifier to the Roksan M2 in few months. There might be better choices for the speakers but at the moment I'm more than satified.

    Cyrus Stream XA :-(

    Yes I know (I'm in IT guy *pleasantry* )... actually the money isn't even an issue... I'm just complaining about the fact I was supposed to get more for what I've paid... and as a final customer I think that it is normal to complain when receiving less than expected... This is my first Cyrus...

    Cyrus Stream XA :-(

    Cyrus... As they were delivering a more complete package (with the n-remote) when that specific package has been reviewed by What Hi-Fi. It seems that due to some cost issues they're selling now a package where there's less than expected (and I'm not sure that What Hi-Fi would have provided a...

    Cyrus Stream XA :-(

    Official reply from Cyrus... (pathetic as I did pay the full £1200 to an official dealer) In the past, certain streaming models have been supplied with an n-remote, which is why this may have been indicated in past reviews. More recently, we have stopped supplying the n-remote with streamers...

    Cyrus Stream XA :-(

    You're missing the point... in the review it is mentioned several times that the remote is provided. I do own a tablet, a smartphone and both of them can control the streamer... I just wanted to get a dedicated device to fullly control my streamer that isn't something that I'm using for...

    Cyrus Stream XA :-(

    FYI What HiFi latest review is misleading as there's no n-remote delivered with the device... yes you can order it but it is quite expensive as it is costing the same price as a tablet (!!!)... So you do get a £1200 device without any remote control which is a bit difficult to swallow! I would...

    Speaker Cable Upgrade

    The bass department is much more defined, more present... and it doesn't impact high frequencies... hard to believe but true!

    Speaker Cable Upgrade

    Hi there, I've just upgraded from 2*3m audioquest flx-slip 14/4 (2 banana plugs on amp side to 4 banana plugs on speaker side) to 2*2m QED Reference XT40 (2 spades on speaker side having the default B&W links in use and just bare cables on amp side)... Didn't know what to expect with my Roksan...

    Marantz NA8005

    I'm just wondering what the NA8005 worths against a Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 v2 or Naim ND5 XS...

    Marantz NA8005

    Is it already available?!? What are the other choices in the same price range? Any decent review yet?
