Hi all
I've read a lot of posts on these forums over the past few weeks while trying to figure out what to buy. I've got about 500 odd quid to spend and was thinking until recently of buying a cd/amp/speaker set. However we have a house full of Apple Macs and I rarely listen to music from CD, as we don't have a decent hi fi at the minute. I don't expect this behaviour to change, itunes is just too useful in managing a music collection.
So I'm looking at an amp and speakers (interconnects, stands and cables).
I had been looking at the
Cambridge Audio 540c 540A v2 S30 speakers (cheap ish multiroom via incognito appeals)
or NAD 515 315 and Tannoy f1 deal from Superfi.
Given my new found freedom from not spending money on a CD player, what would you recommend?
Richer Sounds, Superfi and Seven Oaks are close by and 500 is the top end.
I'm looking for help from people who listen to computer based audio primarily, not convincing that CDs are better.
Pairings of amps and speakers appreciated,
I listen to a mix of rock and electronica see http://www.last.fm/user/gavinb/library
thanks
