    What B&W speakers for Marantz PM6005?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I've read about these speakers and they seem like really good value. Unfortunately, they don't sell here on the continent and shipping them from the UK would cost over 100 Euros. I think I'll stick to the omnipresent B&Ws that are easily bought and sold wherever...

    What B&W speakers for Marantz PM6005?

    Thanks for your replies, everybody! In light of what has been said I think I'll try to get my hands on a used pair of 685 s2 or 683 s2. If I end up craving for more I will upgrade to a stronger amp and some of the bigger CM speakers.

    What B&W speakers for Marantz PM6005?

    Purchasing advice

    Thank you for all your replies! For the purpose of clarification I should say that I am not particularly interested in any region or brand. I'm really just looking for the best value for my money. The reason why I was specific about Germany and Switzerland is that product availability is...

    Hi everybody, It would be great if you guys could help me see the light. I'm a beginner and really unsure what kind of system would make sense for me. Current situation: I'm currently running some old gear my dad gave me (Denon PMA 925R + Mission Freedom 5 speakers) but would like to put...
