Hi, I've was looking to get a Yamaha 675 AV reciever however on ringing around some suppliers to get the best price I've been offered a Marantz SR7007 for approx £200 more. I know this was last years flagship model but when it came it was priced around 1400. As a general AV (music is my main...

Hi, Thanks for your message. So my budget is around the £1500 mark (that's the higher side). Your note sounds that plasmas may just be ok in the 'glass room' (and no its not opposite the wall). Will follow your suggestion and head into a bright department store. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking at getting a TV for our room where one wall is literally glass. I really like the look of Plasma TVs - the colours, blacks, viewing angles and motion handling are unbeatable in my opinion however everywhere I read says that I should really go down the LCD/LED route based on the...

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a new TV that will sit in our orangery (so a fair bit of light coming in). In terms of size, the room is about 5x7m, for which I feel a 60inch would be good. (I've seen the Sony kdl-55hx853 which i very much like the look of and price however feel 55 may be a little...

Hi all, Need help with 2 questions: 1- Yamaha BD-A1020 vs Denon DBT-1713UD, both have SACD support - which is better for music then video playback 2- Denon DBT-1713UD and Marantz UD5007 - they both look the same are they actually the same thing? Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for a blu ray player which has good cd playback. I currently have the LG BD390 however have been reading up on the Panasonic BDT500 and am quite impressed. Want to ask has anybody here had both of these and can comment on the differences/which is better for CD playback/overall...

Hi, An update on this: At the end of all this I'm deciding to go for the Yamaha RXV673 av reciever :p The only all-in-one that I'd really be happy with was the Naim Uniti 2 however I simply cannot afford it. I went to a local audio retailer and I demoed the B&W 684 with a Marantz MCR603...

Hi, Thanks for all the info so far. I'm think I'm going towards either all in one route with Naim being at the top of the list at the moment. The AVI's look good however i'll need something like an Apple TV fr internet radio etc. and prefer the general useability of a all in one such as the...

Wow :-) - that Naim Uniti Lite looks awesome, seriously everything I need + with a name like Naim I'd presume I'd be getting decent amplification. However the price, I'd be going over 700 or so pounds (seeing Naim for 1700 + 1000 for speakers). Is the Naim really worth it? Any other...

Ok I'll look into that - although from initial googling just the speakers would touch the 2k budget :p Music listened to varies a lot, so from house, latin, jazz, rock, techno, rock.

Hi all, We're building a new room to the back of the house and would like to get some ideas/recommendations from the WhatHiFi community. The room's dimensions will be approx 8m x 5m. The budget isn't too great, I'd say max is around the £2k mark +/- a few hundred. At this stage, I've been...

Hi all, So a decision has been made... the B&W 684 with the Marantz MCR603. I demoed the seperates and there was a difference however I just don't feel it worth the extra money. People at the store did look at me funny as they still thought I should be buying seperates to go with those...

Hi, Thanks for that chebby - very useful to get the insight of someone who's owned both.

Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of the Arcam Solo Mini vs Marantz MCR-603? I know someone selling the Arcam solo ex-demo for the same price as the Marantz. Which would be most flexible in terms of driving a good set of speakers (maybe even floorstanding B&W 684s). I know Marantz is 2...

I really like the M-CR603 - it'll save me a lot of space and money - I guess i just want the reassurance that I'll be getting the best out of the speakers.
