Thanks for all the advise and feedback Chris - am going to demo the concept 20s in cork over xmas and see what they are like. Will make the trek to dublin for the other 2 then after xmas! Will post back when have made a purchase! :-)

Many thanks Chris! :-) I was in the market for speakers but due to unforeseen circumstances never got a chance to upgrade til now! I have paired the nad d3020 to older mission speakers i had previously which although do a job, they arent the best. I mainly listen with the akg k550s that i have...

Hi All, I too am in between the dali zensor 3s and the b&w 685 s2s. I have no problem paying the extra €250 if the quality is much better for the b&ws. I know the obvious response is listen to both and make your mind up, but i cannot listen to these easily as there only store in ireland to stock...

Hi All, I had been strongly considering buying the NAD D3020, but with price drops in the Jan sales I can get the Marantz 6005 pack (Amp and CD player) for an extra EUR160. Can see that both have DACs so I can hook up my laptop optically which will sort Spotify. Sound quality is the most...

@aia21 - thanks for that - very helpful analysis!! :-)

@CarlDw: Will defo have a listen to the 2020is as well - thanks for that! Cheers @luckylion100 - looking forward to getting something soon! :-) @CnoEvil: NI is a bit far. ive spotted on google that theres a place calling Savins in Limerick that has both the Dalis and the Q20s so must defo make...

@CnoEvil: Yup, will b heading there and hifihut. Any other good places to try? Being from the depths of Cork I dont travel to Dublin much!! :-) Thanks BigH - will defo demo both - sounds like they are both a good buy so will b down to which I prefer the sound of! That was the main thing I was...

Thanks you all for the feedback! @Leep, Yes,l'll defo b spending a day in Dublin just going around to retailers listening to different speakers. will defo keep an open mind as well. Im fairly certain on the amp but uncertain as to what pair of speakers to go wit it. Im getting the AKG K550s as...

Many thanks for all of your help Mathew - that has been a great help!! At the moment I am leaning towards the Dalis but will defo have to audition before buying!! Would anyone else have any opinions?

Many thanks for the feedback. Main problem I have is that the nearest stockist of higher grade speakers is almost 3 hrs away so trying to get a better idea here. Good to know that im on the right track speakers wise tho! Will both work well with the NAD D 3020 or would one be more suited than...

Hi all,Im building my first setup and need a bit of advice. After spending hours trawling through loads of reviews of both Amps and Speakers, I have settled on the NAD D 3020 and either the Q Acoustics Concept 20 or the Dali Zensor 3. Ive read loads on the speakers themselves, but no in depth...
