Ok, so I'm getting there - slowly!!
I am very pleased with the Q Acoustics 1030i speakers. They are here to stay.
I'm also very pleased with many aspects of the Cambridge Audio 650A's performance, but on occasion it is just a little on the bright side. As some will have seen I have been contemplating moving over to a NAD instead, but I'd rather avoid it if I can, especially as I feel I will lose some of the better aspects of the CA.
Probably a daft question but how much am I compromising the amp and speakers by using the 340C or NAD C521BEE CD players? How much of a difference would buying the 650C make to the sound?
Am I using the right cables? I am using Chord Rumour 2 speaker cables and Crimson interconnects. Is there are slightly warmer interconnect and/or speaker cable combination that I should be using to get the best out of the system?
If I have to I am prepared to detour back down the NAD route, but I'd rather avoid it as I already have the 650A and, apart from anything else, I remain slightly dubious about the reliability of the C545BEE.
Any further thoughts, particularly from the WHFS&V team, would be gratefully received.
