At the mo I am OKish for home cinema kit, nothing special but OK for now- am looking for something for music. I've seen good prices on the 2010 CD and integrated amp recently, and having heard them I'm seriously considering going for them as a pair (£800). At present I can't afford to go higher up the Exposure range, or add a power amp.
Separately I've been impressed with the Monitor Audio Silver S6 speakers, but not been able to hear them with the 2010 source & amp.
I know buying any reasonable hifi without a full audition is crazy, but I'm close to just saying 'go on then' and putting them together. If it disappoints, I have an 'exit route' from having MA's as music speakers:- in a year or so I could use them as fronts in an improved home cinema setup, maybe keeping the Exposure kit with some new speakers for music.
However if this amp&CD is a bad match for MA, and/or the 2010 (rated 50W at 8ohm)will have trouble driving the MA S6 (91db, 6 ohms, 120W power handling), I'll go back to the drawing board. Anyone try this combination?
If not, what did you get for speakers (max GBP 500) to match the Exposure CD/amp - or, what amp is driving your MA S6 speakers?
