What’s your stereo equipment?
Hifi thread: What’s your stereo equipment? I’d love to have a Linn amp but financially that’s out of the question. So I bought an NAD C352 amp and an NAD C542 CD player. Both very solid, a big upgrade over the Sony equipment I used to have. For speakers, I tested several B&W models, also Dynaudio Contour models but finally settled on a pair of BC Acoustiques… great speakers, equipped with a mighty fine horn tweeter. Nothing beats good stereo equipment!
Answer #1: Agreed. B&W Nautilus 803, Rotel Preamp/Processor (RSP-1098), Rotel amplifier (RMB-1095)
Answer #2: I know a lot of people who have a Rotel and B&W combination. Seems to work well together. I love the electro static panel speakers myself. I have Rotel amp and preamp tuner with Martin Logan Aries speakers. Love the speakers, would never go back.
Answer #3: my system is a Sony 34 inch wide screen HD tv directv HD Samsung receiver Sony dts receiver sony 200 disc cd/dvd changer Cerwin Vega tower speakers and surround system. The Cerwins sound just as good to me as more expensive models. I cant tell a difference and the prices for all these were great at the Rex tv/appliance store I buy from.
Answer #4: Jamo speakers with Denon amp. I went from Klipsch to Paradigm to Jamo speakers over the last 20 years.
Answer #5: I have Rotel integrated amp with B&W and it sounds sweet, although not as good as some of the stereophile equipment being mentioned here.
Answer #6: I was able to listen to some used Martin Logans at my local hifi store… awesome sound. But the speakers were just too damn big for our living room.
Answer #6: I thought about Rotel but eventually I liked the sound of the NAD amp a little better. The B&W I tested didn’t sound that great with the NAD eqipment so I started looking for a different maufacturer. The BC Acoustiqes (Act A2) are from a relatively unkown French company. Extremely well built (about 85 lbs per speaker) with a very defined, harmonic sound. They worked extremely well with the NADs.
Answer #7: Main system is Arcam Alpha 8 amp, Arcam Alpha MCD changer, Cambridge Audio T500 tuner, Paradigm Reference Studio 20 speakers.
Second system: Cambridge Audio A300 Amp, Cambridge Audio D500 CD player, Axiom Millenia M50 Ti speakers.
Third: Arcam Alpha 1 amp, Rotel RCC-945 changer, Yamaha T-1020 tuner, Paradigm Atom speakers.
