Question What's your next HiFi purchase?

[Al ears]

Not yet. Would welcome suggestions on good matches for Roksan. Looking to spend 8-900 euros.

I'm considering concept 40's new and various KEF floorstanders new.

How big is your room? (metres x metres)
If reasonably sized look at Dali Oberon 5

I keep looking at speakers. Recently the Dali Opticon 8 MK1 have caught my eye.

65 sq. Metres.. 10 by 6.5 ... so sizable. Hence my looking for grunt before going to buy speakers. That said, I won't be looking to shake the doors off too often!

I still think the Dalis are a good bet, especially with your budget. You will not get much better unless you look at second-hand speakers

I actually wouldn't mind checking out second hand as well. Any general recommendations around matching with roksan amps?

I will definitely look at the Dali oberon. Everything I read is really positive

I know everyone is different but I liked Spendor and / or ProAc speakers with the Roksan I had.

Spendor D7.2. I'm not wealthy but adore quality sound. At my current saving rate I'll have to wait a couple of years but I'm determined to own a pair. After that, I'm done. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Having the 7s, I doubt you'll be disappointed. There's a set of nearly new 9s on eBay...

I'm saving up so I can upgrade my DAC. I am thinking of upgrading to something like the Audiolab M or if I save up enough a Chord Hugo 2.

 

[AVDude]

My next major AV purchase?

Either a unique variant of the Marantz AV7706 11.2 surround with XLR jacks,
or a pair of these A77X from Adam Audio:


I have headphones I am happy with, now it's time to make the rest of the audio space happy also.

 

[Deleted member 188533]

I just bought an SMSL SU-9 and a HiFiMan Ananda. Two thumbs up to both. And they aren't even really broken in yet.

 

[AVDude]

I decided to add a Schitt dedicated headphone amp since my DAC doesn't boost enough.

 

[AJM1981]

probably a set of compact Klipsch horns

 

[idc]

Some new pads for my AKG K271 Mkii headphones. Replacement headphone pads has been my only hifi purchases for the last 7 or 8 years.

 

[Iwho69]

I'm looking at the Marantz pm7000n and the matching cd player, also looking at the new Reavon blu ray multi player I'll see what the reviews are like want it for MQA and SACD ,DVD-A

 

[AJM1981]

Just more music and dreaming about an upgrade in my HIFi system which most probably will never happen....

In case you have bookshelves or bigger 2 way units you can always put the speaker sideways instead of upright for the variation to experience a different signature. It is no joke either. Was once watching a video of a producer who claimed that his speakers were a bit dull and rotating them horizontally gave it exactly the amount of high frequencies.

I would probably have done it with the old Tannoy M1s I once had. They were the most average of average.

I'm on the lookout for a cost-effective hires streamer. My dedicated MacBook Air with ROON is clunky and unloved by the family but everything else is way too expensive so far.

the Reavon is a universal disc player, I don't believe MQA is a function though.

 

[Deleted member 108165]

So how is the Parasound, Al? You've not said much about it.

 

[Iwho69]

It would be a pity if they don't, I sent Reavon an email today to ask them will the new UBR x200 support MQA discs, I'll let you all know how it goes 🙂

 

[NorthEastVinyl]

It isn't imminent but the next hifi purchase will be a CD Player/Transport & DAC to add to my system. In the meantime, funds will be spent on music rather than hifi

Congrats. You'll need to use a file hosting site to upload pics.

Thanks Doug, sounds like too much aggro😉
