Afternoon all,
I have always been a fan of music. I love every kind of genre, and listen to it religiously.
Around 6 years ago I popped into my local Richer Sounds store and walked out with a mini hifi set up (budget conscious) of 1 x Pioneer XCHM51DAB (DAB, Radio, CD Player, Bluetooth) and a pair of Cambridge Audio SX60 speakers. To be fair I have really enjoyed the set up and it does sound good.
With my avid music love I have started to "think that I want" a separate hi-fi system instead of the mini hifi I have (although I still do think it is good)
My music sources are all pretty much Spotify and TuneIn radio now. I don't use anything else and so I Bluetooth to the Pioneer at the moment.
So I have been looking at these amplifiers -
Cambridge Audio AXR85 or
Cambridge Audio CXA61
And to pair with
Cambridge Audio CXN V2 Network Streamer
Am I going to see a massive difference between my mini hifi and this set up?
I want to hear the clarity of the music - like the drums/guitar/kicks/bass all kind of separately. Like I want to tell where the instrument is of that makes sense. Will get that with these amps over the Pioneer?
Bluetooth is in the amplifiers so would I really need the Network Streamer? What is the difference between Bluetooth vs Bluetooth aptxHD?
There are just so many questions!
