The Marantz is Superbly open and spacious delivery; fine detail and subtle dynamics; iPod connection whats HI-FI REVIEW. CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS PLAYER AT ALL FOR THE MONEY.I HAD A CAMBRIDGE 740C FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND IS LITTLE MORE EXTENDED SOUNDING THEN THE MARANTZ,LIKE OTHER PERSON SAID IN THIS THREAD. I AM USING A BABY SOPHIA AMP,WITH KLIPSCH RB-81II SPEAKERS AND THE MARANTZ IS REVEALING,BUT A LITTLE WARMER SOUNDING,AND TO ME YOU KNOW HOW HORN LOADED SPEAKERS CAN BE VERY REVEALING WITH ANY PLAYBACK SOURCE. I USE KIMBER 4TC SPEAKER WIRES WITH MY KIT.
Marantz CD6004 vs Cambridge Azur 650C
I'm trying to decide between the Marantz 6004 or Cambridge 650C.
System consists of Vandersteen 2Ces, Belles 150 amp, and Placette passive volume control; cables are Kimber Silver Streak and bi-wired 8TC.
Prefer top-end air and extension over richness, which the 2Ce/Belles combo supplies enough of. Very much want to keep the current system's rhythm and pacing, which makes listening a toe-tapping, impossible to sit still experience.
Any thoughts?
