    Our two Tannoys still work after 25 years (manual photo attached) and after storing them in dry conditions we want to play them again through a used amp and turntable (non-streaming/USB) before perhaps buying new in the future. Thing is, we have no idea what brands to consider nowadays. We want...

    Using my Kef egg speakers separately

    I have a set of five Kef egg speakers (KHT 2001) that were previously used with a KEF sub-woofer and Denon receiver as a surround sound set up. Unfortunately, the sub-woofer and receiver no longer work effectively and both units have been taken by someone who is going to try and repair and keep...

    Hi! I was wondering which floorstanding speakers between 2000 and 3000 eur (1690-2 536 gbp) are a good match with cambridge audio cxa81? Dont want the treble to become too bright, the mids not to have too much bass so the voices sound unatural. Thanks!

    Hi everyone, I have a pair of B&W 685 and want to upgrade, mainly for better bass response and depth.

    Should I buy something better than Aiyima preamp/amp to go with my BW 606s2 anniversary speakers?

    I'm a new hifi guy so I read some reviews and bought the B&W 606 S2s and bought an Aiyima A08 amp and Aiyima T8 Preamp and then I plug my laptop into my Fiio M11 Plus LTD in Dac Mode and it sounds great. Is there something I'm missing here by not buying a more expensive amp? If you think so...

    Question Fyne 501 + Cambridge Evo 150 or keep my Kef LS50Ws?

    Hi All, Issue: I have had the Kef LS50Ws mk1 for the last 2yrs and love them. I have them paired to Kef's 10b subwoofer which is a great pairing to support the LS50Ws with lower ranges. Where I live it is very difficult to find audio enthusiasts and even harder to find decent stores but just...

    Good current set-up tailored for Bass music?

    I'm looking to upgrade my current set-up. I have a Logitech Z533 2.1 subwoofer and speaker set-up right now, and this has quite frankly been brilliant for my listening needs.

    Amp Dilemma

    I have a NAD 355BEE paired to Mezzo 6 floorstanders. In addition to the CD Player (also NAD). I was very happy with the way the combo sounded. The Mezzos are a little inclined towards the brighter side and this gets perfectly balanced by the Amp which tends to have a bias towards the warm. I...

    Bookshelf Speakers for Small Room

    I have a small room and listen rather closely. I'm using a Uniti Atom and some older Martin Logan 4s and looking to upgrade the whole system with a great turntable, tube amp and a different DAC. A local dealer demo'd me on the Harbeth P3 XD's and the vocals came through with crystal clarity-...
