3 budget systems, whats the difference? Ditch the sonos. Up your budget. Get something good

Thanks for all the replies, tannoy precision 6.1 is also on my shortlist, especially as it seems to be discounted quite heavily at the moment. kef ls50 tannoy 6.1 epos elan 15 I'll take my time with some home demos, or maybe take a punt on eBay if anything cheap crops up!

Hi all, looking to maybe partner some KEF LS50's with my Creek Destiny 2 amp. I've heard a few stories of how they eat amps for breakfast so just making sure my destiny is up to it! It's rated at 100w per channel. i currently have a pair of Tannoy DC6t and I'm looking to tighten up the bass as...

I dont know why but I always prefer 2nd hand electronics but would never buy 2nd hand speakers. I've seen the way my friends kids treat tweeters....! You could get a 2nd hand Roksan Kandy L3 or K2 with plenty of power and delicacy, and spend the money saved on better speakers. Roksan and...

Just thought of another one on my list! Hegel HD12

For that sort of money I'd be sending it to Hegel

You could always build yourself a Raspberry pi with volumio as its operating system. Includes airplay and can also be used a top notch streamer for all your music stored on PC/MAC/NAS. Just choose your ouput board - either an on board PI DAC, or a DIGI+ to send the signal to your choice of...

I am actually looking for something similar - to keep my options open with regards to active speakers in future. I've settled on 3 that I would like to audition, although my budget would be £750, so slightly lower than yours Wadia 121 M2tech Young DSD Emotiva Stealth DC-1 Project DAC RS...

How would you compare your Abrahamsen amp with the pulse? I've been sorely tempted by the standard V20 but I cant ignore the prices you can pick up a 2nd hand Leema Pulse for!

Thanks all for the replies, looks like I will start saving! I would have thought a pre-power combo that was highly rated under £1000 in its day should be able to match a £650 modern day amp though? Or does technology move quicker than I can keep with ?!

Current set up looks like this. DAC is hooked up via toslink to both my iMac and an Apple TV for tidal streaming from my iPad

Hi all, I've recently purchased a Beresford Bushmaster DAC that has really helped me rediscover my music. The detail it has uncovered has made me start to think my other components need upgrading. I have a NAD C320 amp and a pair of Tannoy M3 speakers. I like the idea of a c160 pre amp paired...

Hi all, looking to add a dac to my imac to take advantage of my new tidal subscription. the only problem is my iMac is 10m away from my amplifier. I could airplay to my apple tv and output from there, but I understand the sound quality wouldn't be as good as wired directly How would a 48khz...
