Help!!! Musical fidelity to Marantz
I recently upgraded (???) my hifi system, I bought my old system almost 20 years ago, Musical Fidelity e10 amp, Marantz cd player and a pair of BW 601 this system has served me very well and recently for some strange reason I wanted to upgrade my system. Having read all the good reviews about the Marantz pm 6004 and cd6004 I decided to go for the pair. I hooked them up with my old BW speakers and straight away felt a bit disappointed with the overall sound, I was obviously expecting better sound from the new amplifier but on the contrary the sound I was getting was not even as good as my old MF E10 , so just to get a comparison I connected my old amp with the new cd player played a few tracks and came to the conclusion that on MF the sound is a lot sweeter, sounds from individual instruments are better separated and overall reproduction is a lot more musical.

Two questions :

Am I not getting the best out of Marantz because my speakers are old or is my 20 years old MF is a better a amp?

What would be an idea amp to replace my old amp, if after changing the speakers, Marantz 's doesn't improve?

My first WHF post was question if I should stick with the Pioneer A400 or go with Rotel 980BX. Kept the Pio in the end.

I was looking to upgrade my Logitech 5.1 computer speakers for gaming and was looking a Boston Acoustics or Q Acoustics speaker package. I ended up getting the Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1 system with a second hand Yamaha receiver for £500. Cracking setup for the money.

Little did I know where it would end up... You guys are a bad influence.

My first post/thread was advice on upgrading my Arcam. After nearly two years of demoing countless amps at various price points I made a final decision in 2010.

 

[Al ears]

Pretty sure mine was 'Turntables - What to buy?'

It's alright now though, I'm sorted.

My first post was asking about the difference between floorstanding speakers - Rega RS3's and RS5's. I demoed the RS3's, but held off for quite some time, until I picked up a discounted pair of RS5's. I was right to be patient, the RS5's give more scale and bass in my room and ended up being cheaper than a new pair of RS3's. *smile*

I do not remember my first post!

But my fist thread was about my AV upgrade....

Thought about the Onkyo and Pio, but in the end got another Yamaha! My first RX V750 never fail on me, as his substitute so far the RX V775. Love Yamaha AVs, never get hot and they just keep on working!

Not sure if it was my first post, but my first thread was to ask for opinions on whether my Marantz PM6002 was a good enough amp to drive my new 2nd hand Quad 12L2 speakers.

It was.

A blast from the past!!

Dear What Hi-Fi Team,

I was just wondering if you had any plans to test the new Monitor Audio Radius HD range, and the new AW-12 subwoofer in the near future. I'm planning to buy the R225HD for front and centre, R90HD rears and AW-12 subwoofer to go with Yamaha RX-V1900 receiver.

 What do you think of this combination?

?

Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks.
