I'm running MDAC -> 8200P -> Tannoy DC6T SE and love it. The only upgrade I'd consider right now is the upcoming power amp by the designer of the MDAC. Let us know your thoughts on your new set up.

This is why it's so important to audition before buying. I bought the Brio-R without an audition and going on opinions online. I really liked it verses my old amp and it added much needed bass, but I just felt something was missing - I wanted more detail. So auditioned a lot of different...

From what I remember, the Kefs midrange was probably slightly better than the Tannoys. They sounded amazing played very loud, but I never play my music very loud due to living in a block of flats.

Yes, I auditioned Kef R500 and they were my second favorite. Just didn't sound neutral enough at lower volumes for me, and the Tannoys edged it. If the Tannoys and the Kefs were the same price, I would have thought about the decision a little more and perhaps done somre more listening of just...

Hi Dave, I have a similar setup to you (MDAC as digital pre - 8200P - Tannoy DC6T SE). The MDAC and CDQ was designed by the same person and from what I hear are similar in their sound signature. I auditioned quite a lot of speakers ranging from £500-£1500 and settled on the Tannoys. They were...

Hi Philim, 300 seems like a really great price. I've been interested to audition a K2 power amp vs my 8200P and if I could get hold of one for £300 I'd probably just buy it outright and sell it on if I didn't like it. Can I ask where you will be buying the amp from at that price?

Near the start of my hifi journy I bought myself a Brio-R and loved it compared to what else I had heard so far. I was seeking more detail from my system, so home auditioned the Rega DAC. It was a definate step up from my previous DAC, but the lack of features compared to the MDAC made me want...

I'm using MDAC as DAC and digital Pre into Audiolab 8200P Power Amp into Tannoy DC6T SE. Very happy with this setup, however I'm going to trial the MIMP power amp being developed by the MDAC designer once it is ready.

Using an Audiolab 8200P. Have an Audiolab MDAC running in digital pre-amp mode. The designer of the MDAC is releasing a power amp within the next few months which he says should surpass the 8200P, so I'm going to trial one of these when they are out and perhaps get a couple if they really impress.

Hi L00k_C, I auditioned the Kef R500, which I believe are a smaller version of the R700. I found the bass to be very impressive at higher volumes, but the speaker didn't sound great to me at lower volumes like the Tannoys did. They definately sounded good to me with the volume turned up, but I...

I've found limited information about these speakers online apart from the WHF review, so thought I'd share my impressions vs other speakers audtioned. My old speakers were Monitor Audio RX1 paired with Audiolab MDAC in digital preamp mode connected to an Audiolab 8200P. Speakers had remained a...

I've recently swapped out my Rega DAC and Rega Brio-R for the Audiolab MDAC and 8200P Power Amp. My speakers are Monitor Audio RX1s. I did enjoy the sound from my Rega DAC, but I felt some detail was missing and was curious if I could achieve a larger soundstage - which is when I started...
