Now at home after what listening i'm in doubt. Isn't the rx 6 the better speraker? Yes; the rx8 has more bass, that's what i like. But it seems that the balance of the rx6 is better. I'm going on with listening.

Next week i can hear the Spendor with Naim xs. But i'm looking; this will be a pricey system!

Maybe than the cheaper Monitor Audio rx 6 with Marantz 8003 amp and 6003 cdp (i have no sacd, also why the 8003 sacd player?).

I agree that NAD sounds very good; better than the Marantz with the rx6. But the quality is so bad

Hi Peterpan,

The quality bad? I have the NAD 355 and no problems at all. And I think you will upgrade in 2,3 years to spendor/naim maybe. I think you should just buy the cheaper MA/NAD and enjoy the music. Otherwise you spend lots of money on spendor/naim but maybe you don't like it.

Just my opinion

Good luck !

The Reference 3.2's will walk all over the RX6's, but they need much better amplification than the MA's do. You'd have to be looking at integrated amplifiers of at least £2k, but ideally pre/powers to get from them what they're capable of. With the right amplification they'll reward you heavily, but this route won't be cheap.

It's better to have a lesser speaker driven properly than a better speaker not driven properly.
