RE: My Humble System

Nope none at all think the marantz has 50 watts per channel so plenty to go loud

RE: My Humble System

The Tannoys were around 17 years old but still very capable speakers but the 10.4 sound better in every way to me I listen to a lot of daftpunk and listened to a whole album when I demo'd the 10.4's along side some mission floorstanders The wharfdales had very tight controlled bass and I seemed to hear things in the music that the tannoys and the mission never bought Forward so based on that I purchased the 10.4 plus I realy like the look of them Wink

RE: My Humble System

I purchased it years ago when i had my first ps3 to keep it cool

think i got it from a car boot i dont think its intended use was for keeping a ps3 cool but it works well

RE: My Humble System

Hi love the unit, similar to mine in a way. All very neat, can I ask what is sitting on top of the amp? And what does it do? Kinda retro analogue meter looking thingy!! Pls excuse the phrase.
