Hi just signed up so i can pick the brains of people in the now!
A couple of months back i decided it was time to replace my 12 year old Aiwa ZD9400M system ,nothing wrong with it just to big and complicated even though it sounded well,but i wanted something with a USB input socket for Harddrive use as well as somthing smaller and more modern
Anyway i thought id go to the opposite end of the scale and purchased a TEAC DRH300 DAB and a pair of Q acoustics 1010 SI s, after studying the market to see what was best value for money{was able to get rid of my standalone DVD player with this model}
Pleased enough with the unit and the speakers ,but cant help noticeing how lacking the sound is ,it has nowhere near the punch of my Aiwa system or a proper seperate system especilly through a set of headphones ,which is mainly how i listen to music{while i was at it i purchased set of Audio Tecnica headphones well pleased with them best iv ever had},
After more studying i purchased a NAD C315 bee amp and connected the Teac through it with the speakers connected through the NAD.A dramatic improvement on the sound was had ,so much that i purchased the NAD C515BEE cd player to match ,again an upgrade in sound{the first full size professional hifi i have bought}
BUT ,when i up the volume on the NAD the 1010SI s dont half become distorted very quick .Not really what i was expecting.So im now thinking of getting some more speakers.
As i dont spend that much time listening to music through external speakers , even though i have my TV linked to the NAD amp i didnt want to spend to much about £100/180.After yet more studing iv come up with this list{dont want anything to big as this was the reason for buying the 1010s to begin with}
Tannoy F1s
Wharfdale diamond 9.0s { these are basicly the same size as 1010s so would there be that much different?}
Whafdale diamond 9.1s {nice speaker ,but gettin up a bit big}
Monitor audio BR1 or maybe BR2s at the right price
What id like to know has anyone got the C315bee with the above speakers , if so wht are they like ,or do u reccomend any others?
Thanks in advance for any help /advice
