Hi Roby, Just wanted to thank you for letting me (indirectly) know about the HiFi show in Brussels! I live in Belgium too and jumped in the car after reading this post. It was my first show and I must say I really enjoyed it! Cheers

I consider my B&W 685's to be decent all-rounders, so perhaps you should also check out the B&W 684's (one up in the line and closer to the price you mentioned). Link

Well, yesterday I went to a local TV shop again, he actually recommended to get only a 32" TV, since i'd be around 2m distance (going to measure the exact distance tonight). I agree on one part with what he said, that I'd be able to get much better image for the same price if I give in on the...

Thank you for the info!

Hi all, I've been looking at the 40" 3D models of the new ES range (for example the UE40ES6300). I saw on the website that 2 3D glasses are included. I couldn't find anywhere which glasses these are, are they the SSG-4100GB's or better ones? I'm deciding between a 32" and a 40". 40" is more...

Just wanted to add my experience here :) I bought the PM/CD/ST 6003 combo about half a year ago and am very satisfied with the ST6003's sound quality. With a good broadcast (mainly the classical radio channel), it sounds almost the same as my CD6003!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I'll decide in the shop if I find the difference worth the extra.. Cheers! :cheers:

Hi all, I am looking to buy a new tv. Am on a pretty tight budget, €650 (£525) would be ideal, might stretch up to €750-800 (£600-640). The new Samsung 6 series have caught my eye, especially the UE40ES6100 which i can get for €750 with €100 cash back. Could also get the UE40ES6300 for about...

I have a pair of 685s hooked up to a marantz pm6003 and am very satisfied with the sound quality! I believe the (newer) pm6004 should be on your audition list :)

Thanks for the comments everyone! I guess I'll just enjoy what I have ;-)

Thanks for the comment! I'm looking at the buyers guide now, but I'm still a bit puzzled about which type/brand of cables would fit my system. Any general recommendations or remarks on that?

Dear all, Because of all the questions about cables lately, I thought to throw in my own question I have the PM6003 amp connected to a pair of B&W685's using inakustik speaker cables. My two sources, CD6003 and ST6003, are now connected to the amp using the standard interconnects that came...

Something like this you mean? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_stripper

I have the CD6003 and can hardly hear any difference. I suppose the same can be said about the CD6004.

I believe it can have some effect on the sound you hear, although I do think the biggest factor is the contact resistance (for example which plugs you use, how firmly you screw your speaker cable, ... ). Contact resistance can vary several orders of magnitude depending on the material used. As...
