    New sub, opinions please?

    I just bought this from a local hi-fi shop. It's a one off using a Mackie 12" driver (no more details than that) and his own 140W amp. Dimensions are 625mm tall and 474mm width and depth. I'd guess it weighs somewhere between 30 and 35 kg. The design is something I've never seen before. It...

    Marantz CD4000 to Arcam CD72T - any difference?

    I just got an Arcam CD72T and have it setup next to my Marantz CD4000. I have run the same interconnect between the CD players and my Pioneer 45tx. I put on the same CD in each player started them both at the same time and switched to see how my new CD player had improved over the old one...

    B&W 700 series vs Monitor Audio GR20s

    I demoed the B&W 703s, 704s and Monitor Audio GR20s today hooked up to a Roksan Kandy Mk III amp and Rotel RCD-02. The room was not ideal, it was near a cube and not nearly big enough for these speakers, about 3.5m square. Once I’d settled on the volume level I didn’t touch it for each of the...

    I'm returning my Marantz SR7300 receiver due to problems and so need a replacement. I have a few queries about the Pioneers and would be greatful for any input. 1. Will the Pioneer sound match well with my B&W 600 series speakers? What IS the Pioneer sound? I've never heard a Pioneer amp...
