Hi,
Last year I had a bit of a binge on my home cinema setup, and bought a Yamaha DSP-Z7 along with a Monitor Audio RS6AV speaker package - sounds great with movies, I love it - but for music I can't help thinking I'd like something... more...
So now I'm looking to improve my music listening... I'm currently using an old Marantz CD63-SE which I'd guess is pretty long in the tooth now, but don't know what to upgrade to?
Is it worth buying a decent cd player to run through the Yamaha amp, or would I be better off looking at something else to power the sound? It's all in one fairly large frontroom but I don't want to buy seperate speakers for music. Can I/should I just use the Yamaha amp as a power amp and buy a pre-amp to use with it for music? Should I just upgrade the cd player and be done with it? I'd be happy to spend between £500 to £1000 if needs be.
Any wise words appreciated!
Rob.
