    Interconnects and speaker cable

    I have some rather old cable. Speaker: QED Silver anniversary bi-wire (but wire to two plugs at the amp end) Interconnects: 1. QED reference audio 1. And 2. QED qunex 2 My question is , can I use these or do I need new cables? If so what should I buy? I’ll need some new cables anyway as not...

    Speakers advice

    Update….I broke the budget and went for Spendor A4s. They sounded superb. Big shout out to Martins of Norwich who have given me a lot of time and put loads of effort into showing me lots of options.

    Exciting indeed…..the research is interesting as all my old stuff is very old and things have moved along. I’ll look at Roksan.

    Help with new system

    The more I look , the bigger the (aspirational) budget gets! I was thinking about £3000 for amp,cd and speakers ….or the Quad system plus speakers. The Quad is attractive, but I don’t want to regret my choices based on style/size etc. The living room is about 25 ft long by 15feet. I will put my...

    Speakers advice

    I have narrowed down my choices, but it will be hard to audition all of these. I am moving from older equipment and need to downsize. I currently have Rogers LS8a floorstanders from the early/mid nineties. They will be paired with a Quad Artera Solus in a fairly large room…..probably not...

    Help for new small system

    I wasn’t very clear! I don’t want to keep the Marantz. I want a small decent unit that has a CD player (like the Quad) to replace it. The speakers are most important as there is so much choice. Does the Quad live up to the reviews that seem to rate it well? My guess is that the Rogers can be...
