Hello all
Anyone have experience and or comments on the above potential set up? I am going to audition the new SE players Monday and am thinking about speakers too. The dealer has a great deal on the S5E's for £799 (I know they old model now...but seems like a good discount from the original price). I was also looking at some Standmounters, B&W 685's and CM1's. My listening room (living room) is on small size...16ft x 14ft. Speakers will need to go very near rear wall so will 685's be better as they are front ported compared to the CM's/SE5's.
I know some of you may smirk...but my amp is a Cyrus 1 which has just been serviced by Cyrus and still IMHO sounds great (and that's with my current setup of Denon RCD-M35 and Mission 762's).Once my budget has "recovered" then I will probably upgrade, but at the moment I think the money should be spent on upgrading my source and speakers?
I'm quite excited about hearing the new gear (through my Cyrus 1)...I am expecting to be blown away by improvements (if the salesman/reviews are to be believed).
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Cheers
Paul
