I have recently sold/selling off my existing hifi which consisted of cyrus pre vs2 and 2 x smart powers feeding a pair of tannoy dc6t using cd8x and vdac with chromecast as sources.
The reason to change was purely lifestyle ie the times and durations I now get to listen to music, and aesthetics, I'm sure there's no need to look at multiple boxes now to enjoy a sound you like.
I am looking for a system containing no more than two separates plus standmount speakers however a one box solution would be ideal but not essential if a better sound can be achieved with separates. A cd source is not req'd, I have a p1 and mini phono so neither is an amp with phono stage. Ability to stream from Amazon music/spotify is a must. The room they will be in is roughly 6mx5m with the equipment on the longer wall. My music tastes are quite varied from reggae to dance, pop and rock. My listening time now is mostly as background music whilst doing bits and Bob's round the house, that said I still get chance to sit and have a proper listen so the system needs to be able to deliver.
I have been having a bit of a look around and like the looks of the ma silver 100's, and have seen some good deals when paired with pm6006+na6006, pm8006+na6006 or pm7000n. What are peoples thoughts on the above setups? Would I benefit sound wise from the separate amp streamer? Are there better alternatives? I have a budget of roughly £1500-1600 for the system and don't require cables and stands so no need to factor them costs in.
Now I know your all going to say auditioning is key and I totally agree however this currently isn't that easy for me hence why I'm here asking opinions. I look forward to hearing what you all have to say
