Got a NAD 4020 yesterday for £19-99 on flea bay for the bathroom system. Was tempted by an old TEAC with more dials but sense ruled. Hopefully it'll arrive next week. Usually i just plug the phone into it but rather like the whole randomness of radio.

Daughter has a Pure Avanti Flow (?) which is pretty amazing and does most of that. You'll have to check the exact specs but the sound is good for a little box esp the bass. Under £200 iirc. If you're doing wifi would some small actives plus AEX and his iPad do? Then use a basic cdp...

The amp is barely adequate for those speakers, low efficiency with 60wpc will start clipping at modest volumes giving a harshness to the treble. I'd go for more like 200wpc and increase your soft furnishings as much as possible, go back to the dealer and see what he's got. You should find a...

Sorry, sensitive mouse!

If you think a multiplayer could be useful the Sony BDP S380 is good and sub £100. Otherwise i'd agree with many of the previous, go for the Marantz. i wouldn't bother with second hand, esp if you use it a lot.

Worth checking the resistance of that wire, should be below 0.1 Ohms between amp and speaker. I'm not a believer in rampant cable swapping but i did once have a roll of Tandy Speaker Wire that was totally inadequate. That eliminated most of my bass. 5mm bold doesn't mean much to me, if it's...

More than enough for a small outdoor rock festival with the nearest audience about 50 feet away, according to that guide you linked to. Worked out about right, we're at 7m aiming for 85dB with 92 sensitivity and 25dB headroom. Get the Telarc 1812 on and you'll appreciate that headroom. Shove...

Of course I believe my dealer who visited my home and said to me 50 watt is fine for your domestic environment. Hi Poldo, Sounds like he was wrong and that's why you're getting so much distortion. As a confirmed cynic i never believe a salesman. Do you still believe him now he's saying you...

Hi Poldo, How much amplifier power do I need? gives a pretty good estimate as a starting point. i allow 25dB headroom and a typical listening level of 85dB. It's interesting to put some figures in and see how much each variable affects the power requirement. If on a poor, compressed...

G'day Mr Spot! AS the OP has a bdp the source is there for cd, through digital he'll be fine. A great position to be in as last time i was in HMV there were loads of ridiculously cheap box sets. I was in a classical shopping mode so complete works of Messaien was there for under £50, loads...

Another vote here for the AVI 9s, we were at a party with a set last weekend where they were running Spotify through a basic laptop and AEX. Surprisingly powerful sound outside with a sufficiency of bass. If i were starting from scratch now i don't think i'd bother with all this vinyl and...
