Hi it's illegal to put up part of a system and not include the speakers. I can't stand not knowing. Please rectify thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meridian ones are similar and I quite like them, they sit in my lap just so. As the arvo wears on, the get a few chip particles and beer on them but they come good with a wipe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattd2308 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 My “Daughter’s” System this Morning. After purchasing the Music Hall T/T was able to source some Subsonic XB2’s. Liaised with Rod Crawford at Legend, and Krix. Both politely advised they had no 2nds stock. Have set up with my old AMC 3050 amp and Denon DCD615 player. All works, just got to give the CD tray a bit of a tap to slot back in properly! Speaker wire from Audio Principe and not so old Chord Signet interconnect. And bigosh, once set up, sounds very good. Maybe trial and error with set up but this is the best I could conjure. Playing some “Audiophile” Crime of the Century. She can play her Agnes Obel, Santa got her for Christmas. Be no dancing with the TT going! I’ll advise her she can dance with CD’s. She has already asked where I get my vinyl from! So, all Australian brand speakers in the household. Legend Kantu 9’s, Richter Excaliburs and now Subsonic XB2. Cheers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPSHELF Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Yesterday I bought a rack from@o2so here on the forum and set it all up this morning. Not only does it look great the system now sounds alot better. There was definitely some interference happening when i had all the components sat on top of each other. An annoying buzz has all but disappeared and it just sounds more open, detailed and darker. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
