Hi, Since a few weeks I got myself a Marantz M-cr510. When I turned it on the first time, there was a really loud sound/tone all of a sudden, coming through the speakers. For like 1 or 2 sec. I dont know, I believe I reacted straight away and turned it off, which stopped it. After that it has...

How did the demo go? Just wanted to say that I decided to keep the q acoustics 3020, I'm selling the concept 20's. The 3020's are a much better match with the minx xi. I realise now that the Concept 20's need a more expensive amp, they sound fine (on the minx xi) with laidback music...

Hi, Sorry didnt check this forum for some days. I really like the minx xi. I have a marantz m-cr510 as well and I notice the minx makes the concept 20s sound better. More clarity, just more body tot the music in general. Another q acoustics speaker you can try is the Q acoustics 3020. I...

Has anyone heard/compared the q acoustics concept 20 and the monitor audio bronze 2? I have the concept 20, and I recently bought the bronze 1 for in my kitchen. I really like their sound. Open sounding like the concept 20, but more forward.The concepts are more detailed, which is great for a...

The problem is, I don't know if I agree/disagree. I dont know why it would be better to use a separate amp. Volume controls is not important, overloading is NA, so the only thing left is that the switch makes the speakers sound less good.. how exactly?

Haha, of course you didnt! It was funny. Exception yep

Are there only men on this forum/website? *biggrin* It's still not clear to me why my main speakers will sound not as good as they do without switch.

Uhm, okay Im lost.. I thought there's not any more risk with overloading, as long as I dont play both pairs of speakers at the same time? Why would the main speakers sound different?

And why exactly?

Oh ok. Well, I will only play one pair. No worries then :) And I never play them really loud. Live in an appartment. Thanks for helping me DocG and CnoEvil!

Oh that can be handy. But I think the switch will be sitting in my tv cabinet. And I will be streaming music, I can control the volume on my laptop/remote app. So, is there no risk in overloading the amp? Or problems with ohms or.. uhm I don't know*scratch_one-s_head* Thanks!

Thank you. Im not sure where I can get this switch. I do not live in the UK (Holland) This switch looks quite advanced, you can connect 2 amps. Wouldnt something like this thing be good enough?: http://elektronica-shop.nl/contents/media/l_2-way-speakerbox-switch.jpg...

Good morning/afternoon/evening! I'm trying to found out if I can use a speaker switch with my Cambridge Audio Minx Xi. Right now I've got a pair of q acoustics concept 20 speakers in the living room. I would like to use the minx xi with another pair of speakers that I will place in my kitchen...

Hi, Don't worry, no more questions :p. Just wanted to share what I decided. It might help someone who's thinking about this combo. I went with the Cambridge Minx Xi and Q Acoustics Concept 20. I couldnt exactly hear the difference with the NadD7050 and Marantz M-CR610. Maybe because they...

Are budget amps like the Onkyo 9030, Yamaha AS-500 or Denon PMA-720AE stronger performers than all-in-one/compact systems like the Marantz/D3020/minx xi etc.?
