    Yamaha AS500 Tannoy DC6TSE - help needed

    Thank you all for your suggestions. I am glad it's not just me who has this issue with Yamaha amps and volume control being not very user friendly! At the moment, it's looking like between Arcam A19 and Marantz PM8005. Decisions, decisions...

    Yamaha AS500 Tannoy DC6TSE - help needed

    Hi all, It's been a while since I have posted and I need some advice. I have a Marantz CD6005 hooked up to Yamaha AS 500 that drive a pair of Tannoy DC6T SEs. I have the speakers about 35 cm away from the bay window wall to give them room to breathe. However, I am getting a lot of bass and...

    Further update. I am now in possession of a pair of Tannoy DC6T SEs. My god, they are good. Proper controlled deep bass, no boominess. Lovely defined middle and top end sparkle without being overtly bright. They are partner up surprisingly well with the Yamaha A-S500. I even got them for a...

    CD player or speaker upgrade for Yamaha A-S500

    Hi all, This is my first post to these forums. I've just become a proud owner of a Yamaha A-S500. I appreciate that this amp divides opinion, I for one prefer the clearer top end / brightness coupled with the vice like grip at the bottom end (at least compared to my previous amplifier). My...
