Hi, wellcome to the forum. Pls. let us know how big is your lounge, if you have a space for floorstanding speakers. Which music do you like? This will help us with better advice for you. Do you have some price limit for new equipment? Kind regards.

Hi, you have very good system. If my system, I will upgrade front of the system first. Roksan Caspian M2 is still very balanced and musical amp. I think no need to upgrade. Combination with Spendor D7.1 is very good. I recommend to try streamer Lumin Mini U2 which is a real best in class. I...

Hi Ian, Neat Ultimatum XLS are very very good speakers with high resolution. Luxman amps from Z line are excellent choices for them. I will only add, Neats sound also very good with Naim Audio Nait amps and Rega Aethos will be excellent match as well. Lot of good possibilities. BR. Juraj

Hi, WiiM has a simple basic Dac inside. Better will be to use WiiM as Streamer only, CDP as transport only and run them in digital out into better dac or amp with dac like Audiolab 6000, new Rega Brio mk7 or Arcam A5. It will sound a lot better, e.g. WiiM via a good dac, streamer in WiiM is very...

Hi, I recommend to have a look on solide Cambridge Audio AXR 100 receiver. This is 2x 100 watt into 8 ohm, "old style" AB class amplifier with Bluetooth receiver, good AM /FM tuner, analogue and digital inputs and lastly yes very good sound! Price here around 600 Eur. Just be warned, old good...

Hi Dean, If you have focus on sound quality, than to pair one amp with two pairs of speakers is noy optimal choice. I recommend to choose one good pair of speakers. Amp like Arcam Radia A15 is a lot better than Maranz PM6007 or PM6006 or A-S301 or your old HK 610. Arcam has very good DAC...

Yes lastly Nait 50 is available for some 1200 pounds, eurs...This is very hot deal, my hand was shaking to order one. I think Naim is for sure cappable to improve their "normal" line of Nait amps, like they did with Nim 50. I Really wish they make their homework. They work too long on just...

Hi, room 8x4m is not a small one. Pls. Make more pictures inside room to get some idea what to easily improve before you anchor your hifi in the room. And I like sparkling wine ready for party with your neighbour and your hifi.🥰

No, I wrote Rega Elicit mk5. Rega Aethos is the amp to beat by Cambridge Audio in future. The Edge is not the one to beat Aethos. Just my personal opinion pls. There is a lot more fun and energy from Aethos than any CA and Rega amp. Aethos is the best of its breed, amp of decade. Better than...

Yes, it reminds me good old/new Electrocompanient amplifier. Close your eyes and choose speaker whichever you like. I am a "Rega Nut", but EXA 100 I will choose over Rega Elicit mk5. Sorry my dear Rega. And Audia Flight Three is amazing amp, possible to get used around 1000-1500 Eur. This can...

Yes Sir, I ment EXN 100. This machine is worth more attention.

Hi, first of all, wellcome to the forum. Your combination if CD and amp from Marantz is very good. Character of the amp is more musical, forgiving not analytical or cold. Linn Tukans ate designed for small rooms around 16-20m² and the best mated with Linn or Naim Audio electronic. They are not...

Yes for sure, but CA AXA 100 is a clear winner. On speakers like Focal Aria 936 or KEF R7 (meta, non meta) or some good Dynaudio this will be clear after 5 seconds of listening. And I have nothing against CA EVO 150. It is a fantastic lifestyle hifi system component. For somebody starting with...

Hi, both speakers are very good, easy to drive. With Monitore Audio Bronze 500 I have personal experience. I have helped my friend with selection of hifi system for his mid size room. We combined Marantz 7000N and MA Bronze 500 and some Project turntable and Rega Aria phono. It sounds very good...

Hi, I think Audiolab M9 with streamer integrated and high quality volume control is match made in heaven for your active speakers. Highly recommended! BR.
