Which B&W speakers do you have? And what amp do you pair them with?

I fully understand what you mean. I have tried many things through the years. Moving the biwiring cables from bass to mid/treble on my speakers, even crossed them so plus is going to bass and minus to mid/treble. Also switching biwiring brackets for cables. Changing spikes to comcrete tiles...

Rotel and B&W? Okay. What do you personally think of Arcam (A32/A39) + B&W? Or Cambridge Audio + B&W? Or NAD + B&W?

Hmm, now I'm confused hehe I never thought it would be easy to find new equipment, I tried to imporove my system over the last 20 years. But one says Arcam amps are a bad combo with my B&W, another says Cambridge are good, a third says Cambridge are bad with B&W... I mean, how am I supposed to...

Maybe I should just try and pair the B&Ws with another amp at first. The Arcam A32? I know the 603 S2 should be good acording to reviews and I like them too, but just not at louder volumes. Maybe I also need to look at the cables in my system.

I read that the A39 was not quite as superb. The test was on WhatHiFi "Arcam’s A39 is a powerful, authoritative stereo amplifier, but it needs to pay a little more attention to timing and subtle detail to be the full package" https://www.whathifi.com/arcam/fmj-a39/review

Would you pair the RS6 with the Arcam A32 integrated? Or the P35 power amp with a NAD C320 to preamp it?

Sorry, they are 603 S2! My bad. I have edited my first posting now. They are from around the millennium 2000-2003). So many years ago, cannot quite remember.

Any comments about the Arcam FMJ P35 + NAD as preamp combo? Oh I just got an offer on a Arcam FMJ A39 integrated for 490 pund used and a A32 for 575 pund used. The latter got better reviews it seems.

I thought the Cambridge 851A was a really good amp? Dual mono, 2x120W, XLR. It was the top of the line at the time and reviews were good. I'm aware of the standard low-end Cambridge models, but this was supposed to be aimed a whole lot higher at +1200 pounds new. Does anyone know this particular...

I can buy the RS6 for around 185 punds in good condition. Any amp suggestion? But if I keep my B&W, which amp would be a good match? Used or new. Pricerange around 500 pounds.

Hi all I have a pair of B&W S603 S2 speakers around 20 years old. I'm thinking about switching them for a pair of Monitor Audio Silver SR6 from 2005. I haven't heard the SR 6 but just read a lot of good things about them. So before I go any further in the process of purchase, I would like to...
