Hi guys, I'm owner of B&W CM7 speakers paired with Arcam A18 and CD17. I've got some extra money and someone who would like to buy my amp and player, so I decided to go for some upgrades early next year. Even I'm more or less happy with my setup, I know the week points and I think CM7 deserve bit more of power as 2x50w from my A18. I'm happy with amount of bass, but its slow, lean. And highs could be a little bit more opened too. Generally - I want to bring a bit more life to my music
As I was looking around, I really like Cambridge Audio 840A and 840C. 840 CD player has digital inputs, so can be used as a standalone DAC (I was planning to get one too), balanced connection and enough of power (in case of future speakers upgrade). But I'm not really sure about CA and B&W combination. What do you think guys? Will I get better controlled, punchy bass and bit more opened sound with this combination? Whats your experience?
