When looking at reviews, and talking to friends who are looking at buying their first seperates system, there are a number of new bits of kit which seem to get good reviews, 'best for the price', and 'excellect sound staging', that kind of thing.
We are talking about fairly entry level HiFi such as the Kef Q300 with the Marantz PM6004, or the Cambridge Audio Azur 651A + Mordaunt-Short Aviano 6.
Each of the 2 setups coming in at just under £1000.
My question -
I have been running an Audiolab 8000A bi-wired with a pair of Linn Keilidh's for a number of years now, and although were considered pretty damn good when they came out, (coming up to 30 years !!), how do they compare with the new, lower end contenders like the examples above.
Also - what kind of money would you be looking at spending in todays world, to match the Audiolab / Linn setup?
Any views on this would be most welcome!
