Hi Guys,
Its my first time on the forum and i'm pretty new to the Hi-FI world in anycase. I did a bit of auditioninig over the last week or so for a budget level cd + amp + speakers in Singapore. The combo of a Rotel RA-05 + Paradigm Mini Mons v.6s sounded beautiful, composed, clear and having a decent punch.
The orther auditions included the usual combos of NAD + CA budget systems with wither Dali Lektors2 or Diamonds 9.1, 10.1 s but all of them fell short in terms of overal quality.
However, i have one concern other than not knowing about the Paradigm brand prior to hearing them. Would the combo of RA-04 plus Mini Mons be too harsh when i listen to slighlty lower grade recording such as tracks bought online and converted to CD quality?
I CD with such a track did sound a bit bright..would an accurate speaker such as a mini fail to hide quality imperfections?
Thinking of pairing it with a Marantz CD5003...as my budget has been overshot on account of the Mini Mons.
Any thoughts would be very welcome...
Cheers Guys
Akshay
