Seconds thoughts on the purchase..... I have been reading around the topics and I realise that there is a great appreciation for Dali Zensor 3. I have demoed those too and I think that there are nice speakers. Unfortunately, I could not compare them to Monitor Bronze 2. Does anyone have an...

I was thinking of the Rotel RA-11 actually since I need digital inputs. You may be correct for the BW685 actually since I was thinking the same for the bass. I was not that impressed too...No matter what the reviews say. I didnt know about the same company part for Rotel and BW. The problem is...

*biggrin* More confusion coming.... Why mixing with a Rotel would be better since noone says better stuff for Rotel than Marantz at the same price? Rotel RA-11 seems weaker and worse than PM6005.....From reviews etc.... Why not mixing B&W with Marantz? By budget do you still mean the 685 S2?

Pretty good point though... The point you made for the Marantz actually tends to convince me that the amplifier selection is done.Let's say I am choosing the Marantz and then the dillema comes to which speakers. The price difference for those two set of speakers in my area is about...

Nice catch *biggrin* The input would be MacBook/Imac over optical to amp, Chromecast Audio over WiFi to amp, TV through optical to amp and later...maybe a turntable. I have also thought the set of Marantz PM6005 with B&W but then my concern is that since the BW are less sensitive than the...

So....No one has a clear objection on the set 1. (marantz pm6005 + monitor audio bronze 2) and we all think that extensive demo is the only way to find out which set might be better for my ears. Thank you all for your replies! I hope that if I go with option 1 I won't regret....*biggrin*

Thanks guys! I totally understood from the beginning the point that Dave was trying to make... My concern is that due to short time demos in stores or not proper setup of the sellers, I might missed something obvious that a more experienced ear might have heard for this two systems. Maybe a...

Since I could not compare the systems in real time, I cannot say which reproduced the sound in a more realistic way. What I can say is that in both sets I could hear as I would like , all the frequencies in a proper way. Vocal, bass, treble, with proper representation. That said, I would like...

Exactly! I have realised that there is no direct price-quality corelation. More or less all systems may sound good, but it is all about the different sound 'colouring'. I am wondering if I am going to be fulled maybe about the 'more money the better' for something that might not be way to...

Trully I can't say which one was better...I can't compare since I heard the sets on different stores, so I cant judge. On the other hand I feel like I am gravitating towards the 'cheaper' set, since it seems a way better value for money without compromising sound....

Hello people! I am reaching to a conclusion about buying a set of amplifier + a pair of speakers and i would like some advice. Currently, I am divided between the following two sets: 1. Marantz PM6005 + Monitor Audio Bronze 2 2. Cambridge Audio CXA60 + B&W 685S2 The price difference is...
