I have moved into a new flat and don't have a HiFi - after alot of looking around I've decided I want something compact like the Aracm Solo mini or poss. The Marantz MCR603. Room is 15ft (+3ft alcove / turret bit) by 9 & 1/2ft. I like the look of the B&W CDm1s and tried them out with both the marantz and the arcam (the Arcam edged it esp. for classical music for me), but maybe lacked a bit with electronic music...? This is a really big investment for me - throwing everything at the HiFi and going without a TV etc - b4 concentrating on the mortgage repayments. I've got pretty diverse and I guess demanding tastes for a Hifi from Arvo Part / Mahler to Detroit Techno with a lot of Jazz in between.
Does the Arcam + CM1s sound like a good way to spend the wrong side of a grand or would another combo work better for the money or less? I must admit to being fairly concerned with the look of the speakers as they are going to be furniture as well.
Any advice much appreciated - I listen to a lot of music but don't know much about HiFi
