Default Need new amplifier and speakers

I always thought stereo amps where better than AV amps. But that's my
knowledge from 10 years ago!.



I'm sure you were right 10 years ago, but a lot of the new AV amps have
descrete 'audio circuity' and can chop out the unnecessary bits when you
select 'CD' I gather (???) At any rate I think nowadays they're all pretty
much a good thing - it's only the comix that like to bang on about the
(alleged) 'differences'....



I've listened to some JM Labs speakers with a Cyrus 6 amp which were in my
total price range but I'm thinking about purchasing some KEF iQ7's or
iQ5's (based on recent reviews and KEF's I've bought in the past). I
understand the KEF's will still be good for a home cinema system.



I have no evidence to suggest they won't - contact Ray Cessna quick, he
might be peddling just the pair of KEFs you need....??



I've had a look at your site and coincidentally I have a Marantz 63-63 Mk2
CD player just like the one you've sold. Will this sound any good through
a new AV amp and speakers?



As far as CDPs go (I'm a vinylly type) I would suggest they would even sound
good through moist tights....

(But I guess that's pretty much down to who'd been wearing them...!! :-)
