Thank you - that’s really helpful.

The room is sealed, and about 5m x 4m, ceiling is just under 3m high. My amp is a Marantz nr1200. Budget is flexible but would ideally be sub £1k. Aesthetics are important. I don’t want cables crossing the room.

I am enjoying my Monitor Audio Silver 50 7G speakers and am considering a subwoofer to fill out the low end. Can anyone recommend a suitable model. I use a Marantz amp and listen to a little vinyl, occasional cds and mostly streamed hires music - generally classical. Thanks Jon

Thanks.

About three months ago I bought a Marantz nr1200 amp and a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 50s. I’m loving it so far and have really enjoyed my music again. I’ve just ordered a CD6007 to go with it. What’s the best way to connect the two? Should I use phono leads or digital?

I don’t have any lps now. They went to the charity shop years ago. I think I just like the idea of all the ritual now I’m back into listening to music. Daft really. I don’t need it and it would cost a fortune.

I’ve just read the ASR review. To be honest the graphs and numbers make little sense to me (way beyond my understanding ). It is fairly negative I think, but other reviews I read before buying were much more positive. Whatever - it sounds great to me and I’m enjoying learning about how to get...

I am - and music certainly sounds much better than through my Sonos system (arc, sub and 2 play:1s). I don’t have much else to compare it with though. I was advised to go for the Marantz because of its network capabilities.

Thanks. And I think I’ll take your advice re a turntable. I’ll stick with streaming and cds.

Thanks very much for all the advice. I got the Topping so I could stream hi res Apple Music through my iPad (via a usb cable). I do have an Apple TV 4K but I think that only outputs cd quality (?). If I’m wrong your solution would be much neater. I’ll have a look.

After years of listening to music (mostly classical) through a Sonos system I have recently decided to get a “proper” system. Taking advice from my local Richer Sounds I got a Marantz nr1200 and a pair of monitor audio silver 50s. I generally listen to Apple Music and wanted to take advantage...
