Hello,
First post here; I hope I'm not asking too many questions!
I recently got hold of a Marantz PM6003 and am in the process of choosing matching speakers. I had the pleasure of listening to the Marantz with a pair of Dali Ikon 1's and enjoyed the level of detail produced. The only problem is that it seemed a bit light in the bass department. Does anyone have experience of any other speakers that would produce a similar sound, but with more bass? My budget is £450, I already have stands and front ported speakers would probably suit best. The obvious canditate would be Dali Lector 3's?
On a side note have any other 6003 owners noticed a small odd piece of loose plate (complete with matching vent holes) clipped to the top of the unit? Any idea what it is for?
Cheers
Oh and one more thing! At the moment I'm using a usb connection but would prefer an optical link. I've found the Chord optichord mini to full sized toshlink cable at £45. Are there any others? I'm a bit wary of the quality of some mini toshlink adapters.
