Audiophiles?
 

All this talk of music made me realise there must be a few audiophiles about. I started to replace my system, which has annoyingly left me with a truly amazing set of speakers, a good - but underpowered amp, and then rather embarrassingly plugged in to my laptop. Contemplating a SACD or DVD-A but this could be another sony format going down the pan.

just the two on the right. Wharfedale Opus 3 (although made by B&W!)
1 x silk tweeter, 1 x 3" midrange, 2 x 10" woofers! (gives it a bass response lower than a subwoofer!).
They're absolutely huge but sounds magnificent!

connected to a Rotel Amp and Sony CD player. Can't remember what models they were and my hifi is in Peterborough so I have to listen to music through my rubbish PC speakers. :(

My set up is a Denon UD-M30 + the accompanying Denon speakers.

Granted its only a micro-system, and not very flash, but the sound quality is fab (to my untrained ears), and most importantly, I love it! :smt045

...and now I can hook my iPod up to it, I couldn't be happier...



The flash side of me is still dreaming of Bang & Olufsen...

I've just done a s3x wee...... :oops:

Re: Audiophiles?
 

lol. you have to bear in mind each one of those woofers is 10", making the speakers almost chest height! too big to bring down to where i live at the mo :(. Piano gloss finish is stunning, they came with cotton gloves for carrying them! only problem is running them at normal volume turns my amp in to a radiator.

My sub amp in my car gets a tad hot, but then it is running a 1 ohm load (2 4ohm in parallel, briged!)
