Purchased a Denon AVC-4700H recently which I'm really enjoying. Have recently added a rear surround channel speaker & 2 speakers at the mid point of my ceiling. Dolby ATMOS & DTS:X are both fantastic.
Currently looking for 2 new front floorstanders to replace my somewhat cheap & ordinary existing ones.
On my short list are Monitor Audio, Qacoustics, Klipsch, Richter(Aussie made if you don't know them) & also the new Polk R700's. Due to the layout of my loungeroom I don't have alot of space to place speakers too far away from the front wall so the Polks with their downward firing port may be a better option for me & from what I've been able to find so far people a very impressed with them. Still hoping for a What HiFi review though.

An Okto Research dac8 PRO... when they'll have stock again.
This was very favourably interviewed by Kal Rubinson in Stereophile, and costs less than 1K.
This is what their website says:
"Due to large amount of orders, we have temporarily stopped taking new orders. Thank you for your understanding".

If you can't find a pair of harbeth's....for a decent price.....then maybe check out a pair of the original pmc twenty 21's....they can be had much less expensive than their harbeth counterparts...and I doubt the differences are night and day.....but the harbeth are lovely and I can understand the wanting.
As you are already a Harbeth owner you will know to wait for the P3's, I've been completely blown away by mine, (replaced PMC DB1 Gold). The only thing they don't do is disco loud, at everything else they just excel.

...was playing through 100 Disco tracks earlier todaywho does disco on a HiFi system??
admittedly at nowhere near as loud as I'd like.(...On PMC 20.21 by the way Skinnypuppy).
It's like with anything new, Al, you want to push it and see what it can dowho does disco on a HiFi system??
Anything over 95dB peak at my listening position I consider disco levels for my tired old lugs. Normal loud, but nice, is 75dB peak for me.

No none. I have changed the cartridge to the AT VM95ML and added some isonoe acoustic feet. It’s sounding great and is built like a tank. I’m really happy with it.
I’m using the phono stage on my Lyngdorf 1120 amp but the built-in phono stage on the 1500C is decent.
I never liked the 2M Red that it came with.

It may have been some faulty units, but i've seen Youtube videos where people mentioned platter wobble here and here and some other people saying the tonearm is a bit fiddly or shaky or drops unevenly with "interruptions", things like that ?
You don't have these problems with your 1500c ? @AndyCC72

I am about to drop the idea of buying tubes for a while
For my second setup of Diamond 12.0 speakers in the bedroom, I think about selling the old Magnat sub which I bought purely for movies somewhere in '99. It is mainly inactive here since it has no knob for cut off frequency so the sound gets a bit muddy. I might go for a second compact B&W asw608, a very solid, musical and compact sub.

No, as I said in my first response; no issues. It is IMO a very nice turntable, much improved by moving on the 2M Red as quickly as possible.
