Hi
I've just demoed MA RX6 with Arcam A18 and CD17 after demoing first with Marantz 6003 amp and CD and was really impressed with the additional clarity of the Arcam amp and extra layers the CD17 gleaned off particularly vocal tracks. The soundstage was bright and had a lot of depth, so close to going with that set up, but first proper hifi purchase and will be putting Panasonic plasma through it too so hoping that will also sound very distinctive
Some rockier tracks the balance definitely swayed to the top/bottom end and I felt perhaps mid lacking a bit.
Anyone out there already got or thinking about similar set up, would like to suggest alternatives?
Oh and also the room where the equipment will be situated has double high ceilings I'm guessing that will have an effect on acoustics - will the floorstanders do a better job as a consequence?
thanks for any input!
