I approve of where you're heading....well I suppose that goes without saying.Q5 said:Purchased a Arcam A49 connected up the LS50's and really do work well together.
Clear precise voices and seperartion of instruments.
Early days, now just need to add a Linn Majik DS.

Most people don't get to hear how stunning the LS50s can sound in a pretty expensive system, as they are usually matched with components in the same price range.Andrewjvt said:Should the a49 not deserve better speaker? Dont get me wrong i think the ls50s are great but that amps a beast. Atc scm19s perhaps?
Btw id love to listen to ls50s on my amp also though

But ultimately you are right; though personally I think the SCM19s, though better, wouldn't be a big enough jump. I would wait until I could afford something like the Ref 1s.
Though not the most popular approach, I too like to build a system around a good amp...then the quality of the source has to keep pace with the rest of the system.ID. said:I'm a fan of getting the best amp one can afford and then building the system around that. I like the sound of some refs and a Linn streamer. The amp has laid the perfect foundation now
Have you heard the Ref 1s on the end of Linn DS/A49?Q5 said:The Ref 1 speakers will be added at a later date but need a decent source now and the LS50's do sound good for now.

My advice...don't....until you are ready to change.....or they'll be in the boot of your car before you realise what's happening.Q5 said:CnoEvil said:Have you heard the Ref 1s on the end of Linn DS/A49?Q5 said:The Ref 1 speakers will be added at a later date but need a decent source now and the LS50's do sound good for now.
Not at this stage but it is on the planned route, I won't purchase without listening first.
I had heard the LS50's and the A49 before purchasing.

Also, don't listen the the Ref 3s, if it's the 1s you're after....and avoid the Blades at all costs (even the baby ones)!!!

All in good time. I'm a fan of getting the best amp one can afford and then building the system around that. I like the sound of some refs and a Linn streamer. The amp has laid the perfect foundation now

Thank you for getting back....success stories are always good to hear.Q5 said:CnoEvil said:Let us know how it goes....it should sound brilliant!
Hi CNO,
Just realised I never came back after adding the DS.
It is an excellent sounding streamer and I am glad I purchased it instead of a CDP, the overall system is now sounding fantastic.
Also purchased a pair of Custom Design FS104 signature stands, which we discussed on a previous post.
