Hi,
I am on the verge of making my first investment in a quality hi-fi system. I am would like to use a PC to drive the music and I am therefiore quite interested in the Cyrus 8XPd. I have some questions on this and other components:
1. I went looking for the 8XPd and instead have found the 8XPdQx in stores and I note that it is not reviewed by What HiFi. What is the difference between the two?
2. I am also looking into a Cyrus 6SE or 8SE CD player. Is there a huge difference when you step up to the 8?
3. I am looking at ATC SCM speakers. I had in mind the 11's but have found a 1-year old second-hand pair of the SCM 40's at about 2/3 of the price of buying new, from what I can tell, but still double the price of a new pair of 11's. Thoughts on which speakers to go for with the Cyrus?
Cheers,
Scott.
P.S. Love this forum btw!
