I bought them with upgraded crossovers that were done by previous owner.Never heard them as they came from the factory.
Opinions on system replacement
Looking for some friendly input.
In a nutshell: I am considering selling my Peachtree Audio Nova 150 based system and buying a Marantz PM8006 Integrated, and a ND8006 cd/ streamer.
In addition to the Nova 150 I would also sell my Rotel 1072 CD player and Node2 streamer. I will keep my Rega P3, an old Denon cassette, and Sennheiser headphones.
My speakers are “modified” Monitor Audio Studios. They are “bright” and I think too bright for my Nova.
I know the Marantz are not the end all be all system for everyone. I do like the warm Marantz sound I have heard, and think they would be a better match for my speakers. I am in my mid 60’s and my hearing while good is not what it used to be.
The Marantz components retail for $1500 each, and can be found for +- $1k being used/refurb or thru discount dealers. These two components make a nice clean package which appeals to me.
I don’t love my speakers and will consider replacing them at some point and had originally considered replacing them first. My listening room is small- 10’x11’.
As I said before I’m just looking for some input.
