Hi,
I would like to buy the following equipment:
Cyrus CD Transport
Cyrus Pre XPdQX
Cyrus X-Power
Spendor A6
What could I improve in this list ? Do you have any suggestions ?
I thought another X-Power.
Thanks
Simone
The A6's are great speakers in my opinion. Sticking with Spendor, you could go to the A9s but they are quite big and I believe more demanding of amplification. How big is your room?
If it was me (I have the 8xpd qx driving Spendor SA1's in my second system BTW, so I like the sound of the system you are putting together), I would go for the Stream XP and lose the transport. Obviously this only works if you are happy with streaming tho!
If you have an extra £2000 to spend, and want to spend it, then I would combine the Stream XP with a pair of Mono X 200's, and stay with the Spendor A6's.
Alternatively, if the transport is important and you are not interested in streaming (or have another streamer source to use in this system already), I would spend the extra by going for the Dac XP+ instead of the Pre XPD QX, and a second X Power, to use in mono. This would be an awesome system, and is the route I expect I shall end up going down when I get bored of my little system and decide to start upgrading.
Of course you could always stick with the original proposed system, and spend the extra on a nice holiday?
