I have an ageing (20 years) system comprising of NAD C520 CD player, C320 amp & KEF Cresta 2 speakers which are wall mounted on sturdy brackets which I'm looking to replace in stages with the CD player at first as it's beginning to play up.
So I'm wondering about the Marantz CD6007 or Apollo CDP players, with possibly their matching amps to follow at a later date. I rather like the small form factor and aesthetics of the Rega gear but is that enough to justify the extra cost over the Marantz?
For speakers I'm thinking B&W 607 S2 Anniversary Edition speakers as I'm finding the KEFs a little to gentle & fancy a bit more punch.
I'm presuming either will be a decent improvement over my current old gear but also wondering if I should consider an amp with built in streamer as I currently listen to internet radio via a Grace Digital Primo Wireless Internet Radio or use my phone connected to a Logitech Bluetooth adaptor both of which are connected to the amp via phono cables.
Any thoughts folks?
