It's slightly tilted too. Didn't notice till I took the pic. Might have another move about with the speakers.

That the Christmas presents wrapped already??

A nice looking "yolk" :clap:

 

[atkins4725]

Yup, the mrs presents dwarfs my pile :-( lol.

Dont follow the "yolk" joke?? It's still early though so maybe the penny will drop later 🙂

Sorry about that... A term used in the agri trade meaning settup!!

The poor bloke didn't stand a chance as it's Irish agri slang, spelled "Yoke", and means "thing"....but you're right, it is a nice yoke. 😉

Good knowledge by you though!!!

No great accomplishment on my behalf, as I'm involved in Irish agri.

I think you are in Scotland, so there is often a commonality of expression, that is like a foreign language to everyone else.....like sheuch (or sheugh)! 🙂

Nice lookin Set-up , and a lovely large room to enjoy it in 🙂 Just wonder , is the CA 650 A good and powerful enough for the B&W 683`s. These are pretty large ,aren`t they ....

 

[atkins4725]

Obviously with a power amp connected the speakers will sound much better at higher volumes but for normal listening volumes the CA copes very well. The CA and B&W partnership doesn't have any problem sending vibrations throughout the whole house and it never sounds like its struggling. The volume never goes past the 11 o'clock position.

 

[atanakata]

That is good news for me as I am considering that exact amplifier for my speakers Mezzo 6 which would probably need even less power. Anyway, have you had other amps driving this set of B&W ? If so, how would you rate the CA 650 A against it ? Thanks for your help and opinion 🙂

 

[atkins4725]

Unfortunately I've not had them connected up to another amp. Just yesterday I was considering connecting them upto my reciever just to see how they sounded, think ill give it ago tomorrow.

I had the mezzo 6's on order to go with the 650a but was dissapointed with them when I laid eyes on them. So took a trip down to hifi corner to audition some 684's but then clocked the 683's. It was love at first sight, lol.

 

[atanakata]

Yes,I am familiar with that irresistible feeling about the B&W `s ... I was considering the 684 myself,but my missus decided that the Mezzo 6`s are to her liking so that was decisive 🙂 I am currently driving them with a receiver and I`ve never been disappointed, but two weeks ago a friend of mine gave me his stereo amp Marantz PM 7200 to try them on with ...man, that was some difference. I doubt you`d be disappointed connecting yours to the receiver,but I also highly doubt you`ll get get even close to the sound that the Azur 650 A produces. It will be very interesting to share your thoughts on that after you`ve tried them on ....

 

[atkins4725]

Ok, connected them up to the Sony 3500es earlier today and the drop in SQ was noticeable straight away. Infact, such a drop in SQ that when I've bought the centre speaker and sub to match the 683's. I'll be upgrading my reciever.
