    AKG N-60NC vs 451 or Y50

    im also considering the connect amp and the 2020i speakers. im sure this combo would be much better than the play:5? I listened to the play:5 and I wasnt really that impressed tbh

    Advertisements are really getting annoying

    Its a shame but seems like what hifi is just full of adverts now and makes me not really want to pay attention to any of the reviews now. There is a massive ad at the top of the screen which is way bigger than a normal size. also the ones on the side seem a bit much. is what hi fi now a sell...

    Home demo of AS500, Cyrus 6A and Roksan Kandy K2 with B&W 684

    I thought I would update this thread. SO i ended up keeping the AS500. i was dissapointed with the Roksan but the cyrus was lovely. so detailed and if i had silkj tweeters I would have taken the cyrus. The as500 really is a fantastic amp for the price. No wonder its won so many awards!

    Best amplifier for B&W 684 Floorstanders. Currently use A-S500

    Hey just to update this thread I tried the cyrus 6a and the Roksan k2 and althogh the amps sounded a bit better it was not enough for me to part with my cash. Done home demos for a few days. Cyrus was very detailed and lovely and Roksan had good bass but detail was lacking. Of course they...

    KEF Q500 or BW684 in Room 3 metres x 6 metres, any thoughts?

    Hey i have the 684's in a room 3x 6 approx but I have them on the long wall so I'm even closer to them and I don't feel the are too big for the room. I like my music loud and close to me. I have mine 30cm away from the wall and they sound great. Have you heard the q500? They sound completely...

    Any amp as detailed as Cyrus 6A but with the control of Roksan?

    Hi i currently have the As500 amp linked to my bowers and wilkins 684. I'm thinking of changing the amplifier and listened to the Cyrus 6a and Roksan K2 connected to tannoy dc6 bookshelfs. The detail in the Cyrus was immense. Really liked it. Then I heard the Roksan and the control on the...

    Yamaha A-S500 + 2.0, furher upgrade to 2.1

    as mentioned above, floor standers would be ideal since they have been designed to hit lower end notes and it should sound a lot better than trying to match bookshelf speakers and a sub (allbeit the sub can get even lower) i would strongly recommend q acoustic 2050i speakers. In my home cinema...

    Cyrus + Q Acoustics

    I imagine it would sound good. I have the 2050i and they are fantastic speakers with an AS500 and Yamaha AV amp so with a £600 Cyrus im sure it would make them sound even better. Im actually thinking of a cyrus amp with my Bowers and Wilkins 684. Just now they are powered by an AS500 which...

    Floor standing speakers for Yamaha A-S500

    I dont rate the tannoy v4 speakers at all. in my audition they were out almost instantly! if your budget can stretch to it, the Q Acoustics 2050i are perfect for the as500 and for the muc=sic you want to listen to. the cabinets are big and the bass is fantastic. really powerful and enjoyable...

    Best amplifier for B&W 684 Floorstanders. Currently use A-S500

    Apologies. I put down bowers and wilkins 683 when I meant 684 so the first two replies- are they still valid with the 684 spear? also my budget is under £700 so going pre and power separate isn't going to be possible I'm afraid. Looking for an integrated amp
