Those PSB image speakers  that you have are very capable speakers, you could try buying a decent stereo integrated amp first, hook your CDP and other devices to it *Turntable*Cough*Cough*.... and just switch banana plugs from AVR to Stereo on the fly on whatever mood you're in  - Stereo or HT.


Parang either/or yata yung turntable, speakers or amps. I already have enough posts about the first, and this thread for the second.  Hahaha. I actually got one of those amp switchers already, but can't decide what my next upgrade would be.

While I'm happy with my B6, I will still audition the brands listed here, for my further education and, who knows, future system improvement.

Synchrony One B + NAD Amp.... he he he

Sinabi sa akin ni Rex one time, from Image, wag daw ako mag Imagine series. Synchrony na daw :)

@Louie and geriboy, thanks for the suggested amps.

@cooltoyz, oicnoreg, Nelson, mhan, Dodie, jh@meeh, musika, comet and drakula, thank you for the suggested brands.

sis si tonedeaf. ;)

anyway, for a +/- 40k budget, I recommend the following:

GoldenEar Aon 2 (ribbon tweeter, dual radiator)
Martin Logan Motion 15 (ribbon tweeter, ported)
JBL Studio 530 (horn tweeter, ported)
Audioengine P4 (silk dome tweeter, ported)

Thank you, I will check this out.

@DTNS and Dodie, thank you for the suggestions. I haven't started auditioning yet. Hopefully, this next few weekends, I can make the rounds.

Current trend seems to be pure digital active systems like the Dynaudio XDs and recently, Devialet Phantom.
