Marantz M-CR 611 vs. Denon Ceol RCD-N 9 vs. Onkyo CR-N 765

[Tibor]

Which one has the best sound? Best sound for me is: dynamic, detalied, fluid with strong bass, rather warm than bright

I have Q Acoustics 3020 speakers, I will listen internet radio stations (classical, pop, jazz)

These and their predecessors have been debated quite a bit here in the past. Here’s a couple of links, but you can google more:-

I like the n9 but the marantz is more balanced.these are available in Richer sounds so best go a have a listen.

At Richer Sounds, Denon is £259 and Marantz is £299. Best price I've seen for the Onkyo is £269. If you'd only mentioned in your first post that the £40 difference was the biggest important factor, rather than which do we think sounds best, we would have pointed you in the direction of the Denon by post #2.

Enjoy your Denon. I'm sure it will be great.

I hope this isn't to replace your A65.

Thank you for help.

On ebay.co.uk the Denon was far cheaper.

The Denon Ceol will be the second system, for listening internet radio.

That's fine. Your Arcam is a fine sounding unit.
