Thank you for all the suggestions, you guys have given me a lot to research :) .My room is a largish living room/bedroom, I can get away with a large bookshelf or medium sized floorstanders in here

Dear all, Been a while since I've posted, I hope everyone is doing well. I recently got a Hegel H300 which is a great amplifier, I have almost nothing to complain except that my Cayin amp sounds a tad sweeter and maybe even more realistic but I agree the Hegel has more of everything than the...

Hi drummerman, for myself I have found Choseal mains cables to make a great difference, they add punch and weight to the sound. I have also used 2 other mains cables from Audioquest and all they do is add some sibliance into the mix. Ironically, the Choseal is about half the price of the...

Hello everyone! I was reading the best turntables 2015 on WHF today and made me wonder. I know that with the advent of modern technology, you don't have to spend a huge sum of money to get a great digital source. My Dac Magic 2 is good enough for me and although it is one of the cheapest...

Cno, that is the hardest guide that I have ever had to fathom.

Love Kings of Leon myself but all their recordings are horrid, scratchy things. Aha Break Shake is well recorded though and the earlier Kings of Leon recordings were certainly much better. I feel that they are getting better with time but their recordings are generally getting worse.

the number of speakers count because 2 pairs of 8ohm speakers will reduce impedance to 4 ohm, 3 pairs will reduce it further so its obvious the number of speakers matter for a given impedance. 2 pair of 8 ohm speakers can dip well below 4 ohms as these are nominal figures. I know many 8 ohm...

Sorry, you are wrong if you think the number of speakers is irrelevant and the pm6002 can drive 2 pairs with ease is also an exaggeration. The pm6002 is no beast of an amp. You can easily ruin a driver trying to power more than 2 speakers from a stereo amp because it is not something they are...

well its a stereo amp and in a stereo setup the amp runs only 2 speakers at the same time, driving two pairs of speakers (at the same time) through a stereo amp reduces the impedance and depending on the speakers and the volume level might have caused it. Anyway would recommend that you run only...

ofcourse it isn't from what I've heard it's in the same direction and my recommendations are based on that. Don't get me wrong, the h300 is a great amplifier but I'd spend my money on an Electro or a Cayin anyday over it.

Hi Steve, I am a bit late to the party but I've had a home demo of Hegel's flagship integrated with my Mordaunt Short Mezzo 6s. It's a great amp but I reckon it's cleanliness requires a careful match. I'd pair it with something like a PMC 22 or Harber SHL5

Hi, any chance you were running both speakers simultaneously? If you were doing so then that might explain it since the marantz can only power 2 speakers at a time. OR If you were running them together as zone a and b speakers, you might have accidentally powered all 4 at the same time. OR...

yes they have been which means you can get them at big discount, certainly better than getting a BnW 6 series

thanks CNO, around the forums more now, hope to be back full time

Agree with what has been said here, auditioned them with some bnw cm7s and they do sound great if a tad on the softer side (which I honestly prefer). Would probs go great with something like PMC 22 and add a bit of sparkle (but not too much). To be honest I consider the cm7s far superior to the...
