Hi,
I currently own a Marantz PM-78 with a pair of Mission 752's. After playing this set for more than 10 years I want.. something better.
Problem is that my taste of music is rather wide, but most of the time rock based. And I've got the impression that this is not where the Marantz shines. Like in Tori Amos sounds wondeful, but with Tool it get's a little bit .. messy.
This weekend I listened to a Cyrus amplifier (6 XP and 8 XP) and whas heavily impressed. So much that I'm considering buying one. But now my question is: is this considered a serious upgrade (remember: I didn't change anything substantial in my set over more than 10 years), or am I fooling myself in thinking the Cyrus sounded great just because I want something new.... The Cyrus is here in Holland a serious expensive set (at least in my opinion so .... what do you think?
Regards
