Secondhand ?

[OnATightBudget]

Currently I have a Marantz 6000 Ose which I paid £40 for would a 1st generation Exposure 2010 at £80 be a worthwhile improvement? Rest of system rotel rc850 and 2 rb850 in mono bloc with mission 752 (not freedom)

Gut feel says yes. And the price seems reasonable, so why not buy it and if it doesn't work out just sell it on - I doubt you'd lose on it.

That was also my gut feeling also, although I seem to be acquiring a few things which I need to redistribute !

Definitely worth taking a risk on I'd say. I'm sure you wouldn't lose much if you sold it on afterwards. Second hand does get you a lot more for your money.

Second hand certainly does have benefits, being in the ring place at the right time is a bii of luck, came by some Epos ES11 £50 just got dedicated stands on EBay £11.50 (Exposure 2010, Rotel RC850, Rotel RB mono blocs, Mission 752's main listening / Marantz 6000 OSE, PM40SE, Epos ES11 second system) Less than £450 spent so far ..... Any advice on a weak link? I am thinking maybe better speaker cables and interconnects may be useful.
