marantz PM6003
cambridge audio 650A
rotel RA-1520

Will these amps be reviewed in the next issue ?

 

[Clare Newsome]

The Cambridge Audio Azur 650A review is definitely in the next issue, along with a review of its matching 650C CD player.

Still waiting on the Rotel and the Marantz -we're set to get exclusives on the Marantz 6003 pairing, though, so you'll read it in mag/here first!

 

[Cypher]

Thanks Clare. I hope you have the Rotel RA-1520 review in the next issue........we'll see

 

[Hems]

[Big Aura]

ooh - new B&W home cinema package? what is it? Can you say?

 

[Andrew Everard]

MT-25: M-1 sats plus ASW608 sub.

 

[Clare Newsome]

It's the new entry-level B&W package (£1000; replaces the MT10 and MT20), sitting under the MT30.

 

[John Duncan]

Ooo, is that a copy on my desk?

 

[Anonymous]

Yes. Subscribers tomorrow...

 

[Andrew Everard]

Today John Duncan, tomorrow the world!!!

 

[Clare Newsome]

From tomorrow, that is - Royal Mail dependent

 

[Big Aura]

thanks Andrew & Clare.

JohnD - read it on your own time, mate.

 

[John Duncan]

No no no, I now have a professional interest in it and have to make sure that the printed word matches our database to the letter (or something).

 

[Big Aura]

...our database is brought to you by the letter "P" and the number "3".

 

[John Duncan]

Just reading the NaimUniti review. Interesting...

 

[Clare Newsome]

 

[Andy Clough]

Don't give anything away until the issue's on sale John!

 

[Andy Clough]

Blimey, didn't realise Mr D had an alternative career as a cabaret artist.

 

[John Duncan]

Course not. Just saying it's interesting that's all.

If the Uniti gets less than 5 stars I'll be surprised.......

 

[Andrew Everard]

If it gets more than five our proof-readers will be very scared...

 

[Cofnchtr]

Hi,

If there's more than 5 you'll have lots of users asking why you can't adopt the 6 star system for all products...

Anyhoo - the proof readers do an ace job as it is - yee of little faith!

Cheers,

Cofnchtr.
