Hi,
Been reading the posts for quite a while now and you seem like a friendly lot so here goes my question.
I want to purchase a new CD and amp for my living room to replace my ancient Marantz CD52 (yup, that old !). I have a budget of around £500 for the pair and would like to use my existing speakers, a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.1s. The room is around 20 foot by 12 foot (carpeted) and I listen to a lot of guitar based music (indie / rock) and eighties music.
Having read the reviews and your comments I am thinking of the two combos ;
Rotel RA05 + Rotel RCD06 (on special so hence under £500.....)
Marantz PM6002 + Marantz CD6002
Any advice and comments are greatly received and appreciated. Auditioning may be an issue as there are not many hi-fi shops around my area (east Kent) - if there are other combos around that I should think about then please tell me.....
Many thanks and keep up the good work !
