    Budget speakers for Denon M40

    Denon make Mission speakers. As speakers contain no real electronics some second hands ones of ebay for under fifty will also sound wounderful though not as pretty. Some 731, 771, 700 or any from as old as the 80's.

    Q Acoustics 3020 bass questions

    Simply Google the specification and you will see Frequency Response is quoted to go down to 64Hz and size of the woofer would also indicate some sort of tapering off at this level or higher on all those speakers. My tiny Teac speakers taper off from around 150hz down to about 60hz hence I run an...

    advice on hifi speaker

    I would go for the Q Acoustics as I own their sub and the quality and visual looks are good. I suspect even with the bass ports bunged up the 4 woofers will boom in a tiny apartment. Also if you are or get married Q Acoustics look prettier (I still would not be allowed them in my Shabby chic...

    Teac 300 Vs 500

    In my experience he may also have to swap out the wife/partner. I have a reference Teac cr-h255 that I have moved from the bedroom to the lounge and has lasted me for years. Sound is very flat and does well with the treble set to +2 and with small speakers an active subwoofer. Micro systems are...

    NAD or Marantz PM6003?

    I own both NAD and Marantz and while I concur with all of the above posts Richard has bought the best amp for his music taste. All types of Rock in particular sound faster and you can pick out every note on bass guitars. The top end sounds exciting. Switch to Marantz and it all falls apart and...
