Thanks Clare
I read here somewhere that your main complaint with the RCD-06 is that it lacks drive, would that not help make the C 807 a bit more balanced & edgy?
I've read in the reviews bellow that the RCD-06 has a thin mid band which is engaging but need careful partnering to smooth it out.
So my logic was that as in the Feb issue of the C 803, the review said that the midrange was a tad recessed & that the RCD-06 might help bring that out.
If the above logic is flawed would the Marantz CD6002 or the Pioneer PD-D6-J be a better bet?
The RA-06 costs 275 pounds & the RA-06 costs 395 pounds here.
The Cyrus 8vs2 costs 790 so quite a jump, would get on ebay but with the its weight not sure if would be wort the wait.
Is the Cyrus good enough to pay double the price, they are both 70W is this enough, & how how do the 70W compare in the real world?

The Jamo speakers seem like good value here (550 pounds). In what hifi magazine, they said they had fabulous scale, weight timing & punch. Apparently the bass is smooth & full, & the trebble is extended, this leads to enjoyable scale & fullness, but they can lack a bit of an edge & the midrange can be a little recessed. As a result the mag recommend pairing them with a lean fast amp.
