Hi all, new to the forum.
Thinking of upgrading my system and would appreciate a bit of advice on pairing.
Currently have a Yamaha AV amp with 7.1 surround Monitor Audio speakers. Radius 270, 225,90's and sub.
I'm happy with the surround sound, but stereo sound could be better.
I have temporarily set up another amp for stereo, wired just through the MA 270's.
This definitely improves the sound for music only listening.
Therefore thinking of buying a decent amp, possibly the DIMD PP10, and pairing with a pair of Kef R3's to replace the MA 270's and use those in the 7.1 set up.
The room isn't large, about 4.5m x 4m.
I'll be running a Cambridge Audio CXN V2 through the new amp for streaming.
Anyone got anything similar? Or any reason why these wouldn't sound good together?
Both the amp and speakers have very good reviews, and I reckon they would look great together, but I'm a bit apprehensive about spending 4 grand without being able to hear the equipment first. No chance of that at the moment obviously, but even without Covid, finding a supplier with both the bits of kit I want won't be easy!
Any ideas/advice?
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
