In case anyone is in a similar position and finds this thread - I tested the 2020is and Zensor 1s in richer sounds with the Marantz PM6005 and they sounded great. The Zensors sounded better to me - clearer vocals and less muffly bass. Strangely, the guy in the shop said the amp didn't have a...

Thank you for that very helpful post, it really made clear a load of things which I previously only partially understood. I think I like the idea of listening to a more transparent and honest speaker, as long as it is still enjoyable to listen to. It would also kill two birds with one stone...

Hey. Thanks for explaining it, I'm just too used to facebook I guess! I'm surprised that you prefer the adams over similar priced amp/speakers for listening to music. Since they are nearfield, is it essential to listen to them from a distance of 1-2 metres? Or do they sound ok if you're moving...

Hi there, thank you for the advice. I had actually narrowed the speakers down to the 2020is or the zensor 1s, but I'm interested that you prefer studio monitors to these. I was under the impression that studio monitors were not particularly enjoyable to listen to - I only really use my studio...

Thanks, I'd forgotten about stands actually. Can I just add that I'm so confused as to how this replying/quoting works...it's stupid that you can't see the entire thread when you reply. Or maybe I'm being stupid.

Thanks for the recommendation. My only issue would be that I don't think I'd ever use the bluetooth feature, and I'm sure that feature adds to the cost. I like your idea about less boxes, but I think I'm happy to have more boxes if they make a better sound for the same price, and I'll just have...

Yeah I suppose second hand is sensible, thanks. As for "streaming" I'm not familiar with how it works to be honest. I have itunes for my iPod but I would rather take advantage of my FLAC collection so I don't think I'll use itunes for this setup. Thanks for your suggestions, I'm adding...

I was planning to head down there at my next oppertunity, very excited. I just thought I'd ask some advice here first so I'm not utterly at the mercy of the salesman haha. Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure how this quoting thing works and why I can't reply to more than one person in one...

Wow that looks like a good deal. I'll see if I can find a place to try them out. Cheers.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and indeed to most of the things discussed on it. Such is my noobness that I'm not even sure if this post belongs under Hi-Fi and not something else. Thanks in advance for any replies, I'm sure you guys get sick of people asking this same question. Things you...
