Hi,
Thnking about replacing my very old Cambdge amp and Ditton 44 speakers. Up
to around £1500 to play with. Thinking about the B&W 863 speakers and no
idea about an amp. Thoughts please

Thanks,

Gordon

You must be mad, absolutely bonkers! Get down to Richer Sounds and save
yourself £1200. I remember watching a test on TV were people sat in a room
blindfolded. They listened to a cheap stereo, a more expensive one and a
real person.
The only difference they could tell was between a person and a recording,
nothing else.
Richer Sounds sell loads of outdated Cambridge gear. Never heard of the
speakers!
Don't forget your £500 a metre speaker cable which only makes everything
sound good because you're told it does.
