Since the concept of seperates appeared in the early 70s its been the way to go. However today we have seperates made by pretty much everybody.I have (you probably know this already) the cambridge CX range and am very happy. It seems the way I have gone is by sticking to a manufacturer once you have read up about it. However are there out there who have say they bought the CXN but have partnered it with a rega amp, yamaha, marantz etc, choose your options. It would seem to me that if you choose a make then it makes sense to partner it with other gear fron the same people. All cambridge, all rega, all yamaha, all marantz. What do you think?
