I was considering changing the centre b&w m-1 speaker for an htm61 series 2 in my av system. I sometimes feel the mt60d system lacks a bit of depth and body in the mid and high range. Would this be a good tonal match for front and rear m-1s? Am I thinking correctly, that the improved centre...

Indeed you are correct. I used to own the Linear and it was (is!) a headphone amp. Slip of the keyboard.... It was the SE II phono I was referring to. Thanks for the advice also. I am currently reading up on the Graham Slee Reflex C as well as the Lehmann. Both appear highly regarded.

Thank you, I wasnt aware of that. I appreciate the advice. As a matter of fact, I had been browsing the reflex C.

Basically from reading online reviews. I do have previous experience with Lehmann products (albeit heaphone amp) and was impressed by build quality and sound.

I wonder if anyone has experience with either the lehmann Black Cube Linear Se and/or the rega Aria with the Concept turntable? My location makes it very difficult to demo any of these without plannign a major journey so i was keen to get any views before doing so. My concern with the Rega is...

I own both nakamichi and sony es decks and I would recommend both. The sony in particular, sounds great and, if you look for a late 80s to mid 90s deck may not require servicing whereas a vintage nakamichi almost invariably will.

Nobody mentioned the Sex Pistols Never Mind the B******s yet?

Bump on this. Thanks.

I wonder if anyone has any experience connecting an Ipod directly to an Audiolab 8200cd USB connection? I'm currently using a Russ Andrews GQ24 directly to amp (which sounds good), but wondered if there would be an improvement in sound by bypassing the Ipod DAC with the Audiolab's?

Yes, i think I will have a wee gander at their website. Cheers for that.

Well, it's been a long time since I've listened to the A3 so it's hard to make a direct comparison. What are Musical fidelity like nowadays? Still producing quality gear? Also, all the other parts of the system have changed aswell (I sold the whole system at the time). Although I did stick...

Ha ha! Don't get me wrong, I really like the Audiolab. Just can't help wondering what if... I have B & W 683's bi-amped with a Cyrus 8 XP and X power. Chord Odyssey speaker cable. I LOVE the sound of it, but just wondered how much things had moved on in CD terms..

I sold mine before moving house a few years ago. I absolutely loved that CD player! Just wondered how forum members think it would fair next to more up to date players such as the Audiolab 8200 which I bought recently?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of 685's for the rear, and I figured that it would be important to keep as many speakers as possible from the same company. Any suggestions on sub? i was thinking of ASW610 or 610Xp. Anyone got experience of these to let me know if the extra money is...

I'm looking for recommendations for centre and rear speakkers and sub for home cinema setup to complement my B & W 683 as fronts. They'll be fed through an onkyo TX NR-808. I suppose the obvious choice would be to go with B & W, and I'v been having a look at some of their speakers from thir...
