    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    I'm back! My amp took ages to be delivered (i.e. 2 awful and painfully long weeks). I tried to have a look at the Naim but after asking multiple places it seems like the brand itself doesn't allow its resellers to ship abroad so there was no way I could afford the French retail price. After...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    I indeed Google'd the sub without a sub output thing and yes you can (although I didn't really understood 100% how) but your speaker are still going to render the frequencies that the sub takes care of which to me...is a bit weird? About Analogue seduction... "Please note, this product requires...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    I would be less reluctant to buy it for 1250€ but the French market seems to ignore foreign pricing as here the lowest price is 1509€ (which is odd, we're talking about a +20% difference). Still, the fact that the Naim has no sub output doesn't exactly play in its favor as far as I'm concerned...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    I wonder what in the world is wrong with French retailers...the PM8005 is 240£ more expensive here than in the UK! Too bad they won't deliver the rest of Europe Right now I'm reaaally confused by all the choice in terms of amp so I will wait a bit before making a decision Anyway thanks for...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    Couldn't find second hand after researching :( (or I'm ordering abroad and that's a no-no for used products) So basically some good choices seem to be: Arcam FMJ A19 - 850€ Looking at Whathifi's reviews the CA CXA60 is, while compared to the A19, described as offering "a far more exciting...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    Delivery is fine, it's returning which gets a bit more complicated (plus I've just had a terrible experience with headphones I had to return 3 times so I'm a bit traumatized haha) I found the Marantz PM7005 at 740€ (which looks nice on paper as it has a DAC, something that I'm missing in my...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    I live in a city where the only retailer is premium-oriented aaand I have no car so return policies are a bit tough when you need to cary a speaker package to your nearest post office :/ Seems like I'm a bit stuck here, my situation is worst than I first thought

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    Ok so basically changing my amp will improve the rendering of my Chorus but if it doesn't improve the intended way or if the changes aren't significant enough, I might have bought the "wrong" amp and be stuck with certain brands, did I get it right?

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    That is something I should have been more transparent about: in the end, I don't really want to keep anything, I just want something that I will have no regret siting in front of. If changing my Chorus can make me "go wow" again when listening to music, then so be it. But anyway you guys are...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    Thanks for the answers :) We just hit one of the thing that has been bothering me for the past weeks during my researches: reviews. When I first bought my PM5004, I bought it because it had earned a major reward here in France. It makes me quite confused because I don't know who I should trust...

    Leaving my Chorus 806v

    Hi! So I've been the proud owner of Focal Chorus 806v for the past 6 years and with my Marantz PM5004 they've been my first hifi set but..it just doesn't work anymore between them and I. For the past couple month I've noticed a complete lack of excitement when listening to them. The sound IS...
