Hello all,
first post on here so please bare with me!
in need of a bit of advice.
I plan to upgrade my current speakers and amp and have an idea of what to get, but would like a bit of input and some thoughts/possible alternatives. Budget of around £600 but can stretch if needs be.
Current system-
-Pro-ject debut carbon DC (Ortofon blue)
-Marantz pm4200 amp
Q acoustics 3020 on matching stands mounts.
-speaker cable - qed silver anni.
-Sonos connect
Requirements for new system
amp- must have dac (ideally 2 optical inputs but not the end of the world if 1). phono stage and ability to connect a headphone amp or- have a decent phono amp built in.
speakers- floorstands, be able to fill a 12x15.5ft room. (will be along 12 ft wall about 5 footapart from each other).Currently not getting bass that I would like from my current system hence floorstands. However, I’m not a basshead so nothing too boomy.
current thoughts-
marantz Pm6006 (has dac, I have heard the 6005 with the qa 3020 and provided a sound I liked)
Fyne F302 floorstands- offer reasonable bass, but not too bassy, and provide good clarity. Seems to have been recommended several times with the Marantz (not just by what hifi). Also, aesthetically pleasing (please the wife).
I listen to a wide variety of music from led zeppelin, to Lana del Rey to dr Dre etc. So after an all rounder really. Will also be using Sonos to stream as well as plugging in my tv and blu ray player.
*i have also considered spending the extra £300 and opting for the Audiolab 6300a amp, but is this overkill for the Fynes?
