Hi PB, Sounds like we have similar music tastes, I think you’ll like them👍

I have CM8’s from 2011 , very similar but I believe CM7 had more bass though I never heard them. The CM8’s have a very crisp attacking sound with amazing midrange, great for vocals and guitar. They sound at their best with guitar based music and jazz. Wouldn’t recommend them for hip hop, EDM...

Looks really good, those speakers are stunning. How’s it all sound in it’s new location?

Good luck, all the best.🤜

Hi Sliced, thank you. The Atom has more than enough power for the CM8’s and very importantly it doesn’t sound strained at high levels. I only play it at between 17 to 27 on the volume display. At 27 it is more than loud enough and my missus will soon tell me to turn it down if she comes in the...

Thanks for reply’s. I hadn’t considered IEMs. They probably will be the solution I’m looking for and for a lot less money.👍

Wow, you have a lot of headphones! You must know your onions. What closed backs would you recommend between £250 - £300 ? I want them for travelling mostly, listening to a variety, but mainly rock/blues. Have tried NC’s at this price point but have been disappointed. I’m figuring good closed...

It’s paired with B&W CM8 s1 and a REL T5i. Did think about changing speakers to PMC twenty5 23 but after auditioning at Rayleigh HiFi couldn’t hear enough of an improvement to justify outlay. I’m very happy with system as it is. I use it more than anything previous.

I didn’t change out the Roksan because of anything fundamentally wrong with it’s sound although I could find it a bit fatiguing sometimes. I liked the look and features of the Atom when it was released and the drop in power wasn’t an issue as I never play that loud. From the moment I played the...

Know exactly what you mean Know exactly what you mean. I’ve always been into HiFi and have had many different systems. In the early 90’s I had an Akai PJ35 boombox in red with detachable speakers that sounded just right. I used to prefer it to the system I had then. About 3 years ago I swapped...

Thanks for the great review. I have recently returned the B&W PX5’s as they sounded so dull and lifeless. Need to find an outlet where I can audition these once we’re back to normal. Cheers.

As an electrician I take my hat off to you. That’s a lot of drops in a small area! Good work sir. I too hate cables on show.

I think it’s just my expectations are too high. It’s all too easy to believe the the 5 star reviews on these noise cancelling headphones, when the reality is maybe they don’t sound any better than a £50 wired headphone. If I’m going to be paying close to £300 for a set of cans, they would have...

She has her uses. Stops other cats s**ting in the garden. That’s about it really........maybe you’re right.
