    Hi Venrith, apologies I've been busy with work I'm not great at pricing things, but as the full APEX system would cost just short of £3000, I'm thinking about £2000 or there abouts The Yamaha was £1200, so I was thinking £700 as part of the package, a little more if sold separate . . . ...

    Cheers for the info guys. The oppo and CA 751 seem like great solutions to an all in one player. I take it then that I let the multi channel dacs on the Yamaha handle the sound from either of these machines over HDMI? Can't wait to here the APEX sing with decent CD play back. Have had friends...

    Guys, been enjoying my APEX setup now for just over a year and a half, and I'm still extremely impressed by it. I made my purchase after reading/researching for a decent AV setup to blow my cash on. I came across this thread in Feb '11, and after the great advise from the original founders and...

    Dueplex, the PV1 is stunning, and I have heard it In full swing, again excellent piece of kit, but practically twice the problems as with the AW12, as in two open speakers to contend with! The GS12, now that is a stunning monster, and has the grill covering the front, but to big In size for me...

    Rick, yes the AW12 in black really sets off the rest of the speakers in the kit beautifully. And I'm sure sounds the same as the RXW12. But that open speaker with no grill? Hmmm . . .

    Cheers Flyman and shanej66 for replys, sorry for dely, been working. I was probably premature in bringing the AX12 sub back, in truth I woke up with a bit of a hangover, and the misses was barking at me about the size of the sub and it being ash black, so it went back. I have new spoken to...

    So David, wet farts are not what we want then? I'll keep that in mind then :D Anyway, system set up and sounds/looks great. Impressed with the APEX sound quality in music and movie. The Yamaha 3067 is a thing of beauty, and sounds great. BUT!! The AW10 subwoofer has gone back and refunded. To...

    Rotel RSX 1550 receiver with Monitor Audio RX6 or APEX

    Well, went to a well known discount retailer today and walked out with the bargain of a life time. Full APEX set up (4x apex 10 sats, 1x apex 40 centre, RXW12 sub) and the YAMAHA 3067 AV receiver, and all for just over £2.5 grand!! I'm still in shock. Makes this an astonishing set up for the...

    To David, do you think the ROTEL would tonally match the MA APEX and Silver RX6, and in your experience do you think they would do each other justice, or would the cheaper Japanese models do them just as much justice, and save me a few quid, or should I be spendng as much as I can afford?
