My priorities are clear, Spotify Connect and internetradio in a discrete package, suitable to drive the Oberon 1's. The Denon does all that so I consider it an option. For the local price of ~€475 I don't think unused features like a cd player and HDMI makes it any less suitable. I still like...

I agree. I will be using Spotify and internetradio mainly. Maybe I should look at Nad c316bee v2 which is about the same height and find myself a decent streamer. I also like the Denon rcd n12 as an all in one. Can’t decide!

Hello all, I am trying to put together a small and budget friendly stereo setup and settled on the Dali Oberon 1 and Cambridge Audio AXA25 (25 Watts). The Oberon 1 because I like the sound and the AXA25 +AXN10 because of the small (low) footprint, descrete looks and price. The manual of the...

I own the Oberon 5’s with the pm7000n and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Great combo!

It all depends on how much you want to use the bluos platform and multiroom options. If not, the marantz should be the beter amp. Besides an hdmi the marantz doesnt lack connectivity.

Did you listen to the Muso yet? What's your opinion sound wise?

I have listened to my music in Direct mode for years, so no adjustments in bass and/or treble. But last night I started to experiment with bass and treble adjustment a little bit. Turns out I like the sound of my bookshelfs better with the bass and treble on +1 (on a scale from 1-6). Just out of...

I guess you all are right. Although I like what they did with the Q series, I would be curious to see what an improved R serie would bring.

Kef R series are all on a 20-30% discounting, you think they will get an update now after the Q series?

Offtopic in my opinion. The same thing happens in every price range. Manufacturers keep replacing high end models with minimal improvements. People swap high end models with minimal improvements. Usability and stability in my case.

A Dutch hifi website who claimed to be at the presentation of the 3000i range are talking about an improved tweeter that is also constructed differently in the cabinet. About the bass I am pretty sure it will go deeper because of the bigger volume but why Q Acoustics claims the same 64Hz as the...

According to this review the Dali Spektor 2 still seems the speakers to get though. I still feel like swapping my Spektor 2 for this 3020i. The ability to attach the 3020i with screws on the special designed stands sounds like a winner with two toddlers walking around.

I think they need more running in to reach their best.

No remote controle though, if that's important to the op.

I was also looking for a small amp and went for the Onkyo Rn855. Great sound, great dac, integrated streaming and USB. Also very affordable. Looks nice together with the matching CD player.
