I'm planning to buying a streamer, probably a Cambridge CXN, for streaming from a NAS. However, my current amp/speaker setup is a bit ancient - Musical Fidelity E101 Elektra amp, TDL RTL3 speakers (the original edition, not the inferior later model), biwired with Cable Talk Talk 3.1 Bi-wire).
It still sounds pretty decent (with CD) to my ears, but I'm wondering how current mid-range gear like a Cambridge CXA60 with suitable speakers would stack up? Obviously things will have moved on, but taking inflation into account, the newer gear will probably be cheaper than my current stuff was (from memory the E101 was £350 reduced from £500, and the RTL3s were either £300 or £400).
