Hi Shaun, To get back on topic I've had the RX1s for over a year and loved them in combination with my Marantz PM8003 after I got a good DAC. I had to place them 30-40cm from the wall but the sound and imaging was really spot on. I wouldn't go with the RX2 for that size room if I was you, as...

Hi all, So I found a musical fidelity m3i that could replace my marantz pm8003. I do have to say that I like the sound of my marantz and MA RX1 combo, and I'm wondering if this will present a worthwhile upgrade as specs are very similar. I listen to a range of music from blues to jazz to...

Hi Jimm, I recently upgraded to chord rumour 2 for my RX1 and Marantz pm8003 combo and it works great! The separation is vastly improved, but especially the bass is now more controlled where before it was a little boomy. You can now clearly hear the different tones in bass and it is far more...

Good point. It does mean that I would have to carry that big old thing upstairs but it could be an interesting test for the sonos crossover and combination with the Dali's... I was also thinking about getting a bk elec gemini as it's really versatile and can be used with a normal stereo...

Hi All, In my study of 4.20L x 3.60w x 2.50h (metres) I am using Dali Zensor 1s with a sonos ZP120. I love the detailed sound but do find myself using the loud setting on the sonos sometimes to 'fill' out the sound a little more (especially when listening to blues or acoustic music), and I am...

True Blue I'd be very interested to hear what your thoughts are on the difference! RS

Thanks CC. It's too bad you haven't tried it on a zp120 as I would expect more difference as it also has an amplifier. Unfortunately I can't test it as none of the hifi-stores near me carry this product, and I can only get these things online. Anybody else have any experiences/comments...

If only I could use the same cable... The cable I have has an IEC connector while I need a C7 or 8 figured connector for the ZP120. Custom Cable, do you notice considerable improvements when updating the cable on the ZP90? Thanks again.

Hi All, I'm using a Sonos ZP120 with Dali Zensor 1s in my study and I like the current sound and love the simplicity, but I do think the Zensors can do more. Before I rearrange/sell/buy everything again I was wondering if anybody has tried upgrading the figure 8 power cable to something...

Thanks Penguin. However, would you choose this above the MF-M1DAC or Rega DAC? I read on stereophile.com that the MF1DAC is like a DacMagic but with better power supply. The difference in price is also not that shocking. Any views? RS

Hi All, Currently I have a Marantz pm8003 and a sonos zp90, van damme silver series interconnects, 4mm Loud OFC cable and monitor audio RX1s. I think the sound is good, not too warm, nice treble and detailed, but I want it to be a little more dynamic. I am auditioning a channel islands vdac 2...

Thank you for your responses. The update is definetely happening, but I'm just doubting between the 5i or XS. I am wondering what you're experiences were on these matters. Do you agree with the 5i getting tiring after a while? Or was it not run in properly? Regarding whether I can afford the...

Dear All, So I have recently had the wonderful opportunity to listen to both these amps with my monitor audio RX1s, but I'm still in limbo... Well maybe half limbo. The 5i sounded very lively, engaging and interesting and with some music it really gave you the feeling that you were actually...

Hey shakos and all, I have the RX1 too now but hooked up to a marantz sr6005 surround amp. Although I think the sound is already really good I especially find the bottom end somewhat uncontrolled and thick, particularly noticeable at higher volumes. I have been considering getting a new...
