unconditional: Andrew Everard:Hey, anything's got to be better than the forthcoming 3D version of Titanic, apparently due for release in 2012 to shamelessly cash in on commemorate the centenary of the disaster. I'm yet to see the 2D version. Whats it about again? I haven't seen it all the...

Yes, i can see that all components will make a difference, but to replace my pre/power amp with another for 2 grand, and to find out it isn't a massive improvement in stereo would be disappointing to say the least. I've identified my speakers are totally outclassed, so they will be changed...

I've had my system on permanently for last month after getting my RA 8 way mains power block silencer, and new dct kords for pre/power , cd , and 8 way for blu ray. After some weird changes in sound at first, ( bass lost it's edge, treble much too toppy) Everything has settled down and it's...

I'm open to any suggestions on speakers, Not too keen on standmounts as maybe moving in bit and don't want to upgrade for years!! ( If i get bigger room) But i was thinking of the b&w 805s, But they have stopped making the standard one now, The new diamond ones are around the 3k mark!! A small...

d_a_n1979:My Uncle luckily has the CM9's (in gloss black which are gorgeous) partnered with his MF A5 amp and CDP and their sound is sublime B&W and Rotel have alkways gone very well together as well so my advice would be aim for the CM9's and get them demo'd as much as you can.They need some...

Cheers for advice, seems i won't get massive improvement in 2ch stereo if i switch to the naim's, I could take my rotels to the dealer and have a ' sound off' although that would be massive hassle ( un-plugging a lot of cables!). Also depending on what speakers i get, i will need to get the...

I've recently posted about being amazed by a naim system ( naitxs, dac, used with losless music and sonnos, and b&w cm9's) So much so i was ready to sell my rotels, rsp1066 pre/rmb1075 power amp combo to help fund new system. My current speakers were left for dust by spendor a6 / and b&w cm9 at...

As i've said before, Be warned on trying to find that ' upgrade ' Or that extra something, Where does it end?? It's the naim gear for me, then subscription cancelled, and no more forum browsing!! ( for a few years anyway)

drummerman: jc1972:...blissfully not realizing that they are totally blown away by current speakers of the same price they were. ... and that my friend, is the road to hifi happiness ... And financial hell !! that speaker demo turned into a 3 hour stint of different naim gear, culminating...

yes, i know what i said, but thats what i was told by someone who dealt directly with mission, (true or not). And yes, i have enjoyed the missions, blissfully not realizing that they are totally blown away by current speakers of the same price they were.

erm, why?

Yes, it's one of THE best, the region1 dvd dts was good, But the blu ray dts master is superb, same can be said for / Master and commander, Gladiator. BRING ON PRIVATE RYAN !! Could be the ultimate!

Also i'm no expert, But i reckon that although the technology of speakers hasn't really changed much over the years, The materials that make up them has, kevlar, titanium, chrome, etc, and now from b&w diamonds!!

Just to throw my 2 pence in, I recently lugged my 7year old mission 782se floorstanders ( what hi-fi said at the time, the best speakers you can get for a grand) up to the listening room ( 2nd floor!!) at my local dealer to compare them to newer models. Well, how can i say it, they were totally...

youv'e obviously never been on here asking about cables, of any sort before, you may wish you never asked that question....
