Getting back to some decent kit

I will just say that Kef speakers are awesome

**Clingy** · 08-03-2005, 12:34 AM

Jeez lads I thought I was joking, they are 25 years old and are DM14 and weigh a tonne. Collect for free as long as you get here before the skip. Even got some floor standing Missions, but I might just keep them as they are only 10 years old.

And the amp?

**Clingy** · 08-03-2005, 10:17 AM

Arcam Alpha 7 - maybe 10 years old, cant really remember, but it has problems with the right channel at low volume.

As in crackles abit - then once its at reasonable volume it works fine?

If so - my dad used to have the same amp and the same problem, lol.

Low volume? Why would you want to listen at low volume?

Headphones then mate

. In my family it's the wife who insists on blasting the music out anyway, I frequently have to tell her to turn it down so as not to annoy the neighbours!

Headphones win on two counts.

1) I can play loud music
2) I cant hear 'er indoors nagging
and
3) .....sorry I just cant resist yet another Python Gag

**Zak33** · 09-03-2005, 05:27 PM

RIGHT....so Clingovitch....do you have any short list at all?

ya KNOW what these boys are like,...they want models to go search for reviews on

Headphones are awesome for your own personal auditorium

On a side note, just got a phonecall from the company I ordered my new amp from (PRC Direct, www.prcdirect.co.uk, top company, very thorough) and it's gonna be here on Friday

What a beast

**Rave** · 09-03-2005, 06:48 PM

Boo-yah!

Thought you said you ordered a Marantz though?

**Howard** · 09-03-2005, 07:23 PM

It was out of stock and it's discontinued, so I went for the Yammy which I was originally gonna get before I came across the Marantz

**Clingy** · 10-03-2005, 12:40 PM

Short list Zak?

Yamaha DSP-AX750SE AV AND Sony STSB900 Dab/FM Tuner
or
DENON AVR 2805 AV
or
NAD T753AV
or
Pioneer VSX-1014-S

On the speaker front I appear to be very much more limited in my Budget. I really want floorstanding fronts for aesthetic reasons!

Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 3B - At the price I have seen it (£650) I can't believe there is anything to touch it. The sub is not quite up to scratch, but anthing else I put together from Separate brands comes up way too expensive.

Monitor Audio B4 Home Cinema - Not sure I will find this within my budget.

Without the floorstanders then I could listen to the Wharfdales and I understand EPOS do a well reviewed package but I cant seam to find it anywhere.

I'm off to Cambridge Saturday to do some listening.
