    Speaker adcice

    Hi Tony, both alternatives, which you mentioned are very good. For an amp like Marantz PM 6007 with a bit sweater, very musical sound is giid a combination with faster speaker with high sensitivity. So Triangle is the right choice. Than I have a friend using same amp with QAcoustics 3020...

    Hi Andrew, it looks like you experience deja vu with CD playback. Like many of us. I has had good experience in past with following CD Transports: CEC 51 TL Belt Drive, today aroumd 1000 eur on ebay. This was realy good machine. Your Mini Zen has also solide CD transport inside, but CEC or Teac...

    CD section

    If you listen to analogue on regular base, it does not mean that I ignore streaming. I just do not need it. And I love true physical formats. But never say never😉.

    Arcam A15 or Cambridge CXA81 MK2

    Yes, very good point with improved A15+. Also engineers in Musical Fidelity are drinking some super cofee.(or something supercreative), they are step by step improving each important model. Turnaround in Musical Fidelity looks to be very well managed under Mr. Project, Karl Heinz Lichteneger. I...

    Arcam A15 or Cambridge CXA81 MK2

    I understood from your second thread that you have a big room like 40m². This is a big room. So you need some amp with some power in spades. Cambridge Audio CXA 81 mk2 is a nice choice for very good price. Arcam A15 is something better with more autority and detail. My tip will be to include...

    Kef Q Concerto Meta vs B&W 606 S3

    Hi, if you wish to select just between Q Concerto Meta and B&W 606 S3, clear winner here is Kef Q Concerto Meta. My question here is why you want just "small" bookshelf speakers for so big 40m² room? It will be fully OK for some floorstanding sisters of KEF Q Concerto or B&W 606. Or integrate...

    Marantz pearl lite amplifier + Marantz 8006nd network / cd player what speakers to suite

    Hi, your amp will be happy with some more sensitive speakers. And just remark, your room will allove you to select also some smaller floorstander. You have nice budget. Something like Fyne Audio F501E floorstanders will be starting point or some used Proac Tablette 10 if you wish high quality...

    Proac studio 200 replacements

    Hi Steve, it looks like you admire Proac a lot. So you may look for Studio 140 as you mentioned. But I will look for version Studio 140mk2 which is improved. Or a new Proac DT8 which is easy to drive look stunning and price is still very good. Quad 22L2 is not in the league od those hi quality...

    Old (B&W DM601 S3) vs New (Kef Q Concerto Meta)

    Hi, Kef Q Concerto Meta are excellent allrounders and great speakers. I think in the whole "Meta" generation from KEF, Q line and Reference line are best ones. Just surprised by your observation about Dynaudio Emit 20 speakers. I rate them highly. They are deadly neutral for some people borring...
