Hi rainsoothe Indeed, several weeks have passed and I am very very happy, if anything the Spectors are sounding even better as I keep using them. So I have not thought about what ifs. Fixed on jazz at the moment, and the Miles Davis Kind of Blue is sounding magnificent on my LP record player...

That's a great ideaDomCheetham , thank you, I will try today. Last question - should i listen with grilles on or off?

Dear friends After reading all the advice and pondering, I decided to buy the Dali Spektor 2. The speakers arrived today, from Germany. And here is what I have to say. I am very happy! Compared with the Mordaunt Short 902i, these speakers show none of the “dark sounding”issues that I was...

Thank you my friends, you are helping me a lot! i think you are a great community, I feel welcome here.

It's for classical music, mostly piano, singing, chamber music (string quartet) type of music - will it come to life well?

Aha, a new idea, thanks! According to What Hifi review, this is compatible with Marantz PM6006 and the Onkyo 9010, the price is good - and the dimensions compartible with my shelf - would you say Dali Spectore I or II?

Dear Insider9 You are of course right. Let us therefore do the exercise for the Marantz PM4001 please, because this is the amplifier I have at the moment. It is a bit old but it still has life in it, and when it finally gives up the ghost I might get the Onkyo but I can always choose a model...

Dear friends I am putting together a budget but decent system for a medium sized bedroom (around 2.5 m by 5 m) consisting of: Lenco L-400BK turntable Marantz PM4001 amplifier but it is a bit old and I am thinking of replacing it for an Onkyo A-9010 The record player feeds into the phono input...

I wanted to add that I am well used to building electronic kits, so I can go that route too with a valve amplifier if someone can recommend an affordable one. I have only been able to find one at the price level i am considering: http://tubeamps.co.uk/product/edison-60-plus

The next challenge will be to find one in Belgium. I feel very nervous about buying such a thing online and it arriving bashed by the post handlers. Any suggestions about possible places in Belgium or Netherlands?

Would a Yaqin MC 13S fit the bill? I have been reading a lot of reviews, and this model seems to be acceptable and within budget and seems to approximately fit with the impedance and power of my speakers...

The rturntable part is not great, a simple Sony PS-LX56, very basic. This part too will have to be upgraded but for the moment the main issue is the main amp. Budget for phono preamp 100 - 150 eur.

Dear friends I introduce myself - I am Jordi Vives, from Belgium. I post my first question as i need a bit of advice. My current stereo system, particularly the amplifier, is on its last legs after many years of service. I have "small system" adequate to my room - a Marantz PM4001 2 x 30 watts...
