Help and advice needed making a selection. Here is where I am at. I have recently upgraded my speakers, as mine had blown a tweeter. As luck would have it I found a replacement tweeter on ebay but not before I upgraded.
So I now have a pair of working mission 753's which has cheered me up & I want to find a new use for them.
I am aware that selling them is also an option but Id rather like to keep them if I can.
We entertain a bit and want a device that will make use of the 753's as they will go loud and will make a good party speaker. I also need a device that will play good quality ( high definition ) music and will play it from whatever source is thrown at it. ( MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, FLAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, & has USB, DLNA, AIR PLAY, Bluetooth, spotifi etc etc ) Ideally I want a "one box" device but within the £500 mark although if someone can persuade me their suggestion is worth the extra the budget can increase. I want a cd player and I like to have bass/treble control. I know top end systems dont have tone controls, but I like them .
Of course I'd love to afford a cyrus lyric 09 or naim uniti2 but they are both way out of budget and dont have tone controls.
Items so far for consideration:
Pioneer HM82 . (£300 )
Marantz M-CR610 ( £369)
Yamaha R-N500 ( £449 )
Sony MAP S (£699 )
These all seem to do what I want, but will they drive a set of mission 753's and control them.
I would be thankful for any advice/recomendation you may have. Please chip in with your opinions/advice if you happen to have one of the aforementioned devices.
Thanks,
Nat.
