My preference is Cambridge. Really nice amp.

Thanks. I appreciate your feedback. Denon seems like good match for your speakers because it has rich bass. I believe that it's great match for speakers that lack lower extension.

@@HiFiSB thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

Yes, I was happy with the sound of this system. Just pay attention to space. These speakers require a little bit bigger room.

I used Chromecast in this video.

It sounds ok. Decent. Speakers have relatively large drivers so I don't have issues with bass. I don't even think to add subwoofer.

Hvala!

Monitor Audio Silver series are pretty versatile speakers and they play well most of genres. I wouldn't say that they are better for some genre than the other.

@@HiFiSB thank you for the quick reply. I'll look into these further

Hi! Single wired with original bridge plates.

My son 🙂

I agree. Speakers influence the sound much more than anything else.

Best amp that I've tried so far. Plenty of power, nice sound... Unforunately, I had it only for a week or so since I borrowed it while I was waiting on some other amp to arrive.

@@HiFiSB thanks! I really would advise you to make some absorption panels. There is some echo in that room. Made so much difference in mine.

@@roybrolsbeak not so much when I listen. Mobile phone is not the best option to capture sound unfortunately. Thinking about getting some decent mic...

Roksan K3 is league above. Much better amp than the rest. CXA61 my second choice and then Rotel for darker speakers, Denon for leaner speakers.

So you suggest a Denon not a Rotel for my old but still good Celestion Ditton3, as they tend to be a little bright?

@@rupertherbert594 Rotel has a little bit more energy in highs and it might not be best match with brighter speakers. Denon has pronounced bass on the other hand.

@@HiFiSB thanks for your answer, today is not so easy to audition hifi equipment.

Norstone Stylum 2 filled with sand.

E30 is decent DAC and according to my experience, external DACs are usually better choice than internal ones.

Thanks. I appreciate. In this setup I've used Chromecast as a source and optical connection from TV to internal DAC.

@burakkarademir : I use Cambridge's DacMagic and to my ears it sounds better than the CXA61's internal DAC. I put my TV through the DAC and it works, well, like magic. I have Cambridge's AXC 35 CD player that I use as a CD transport, also putting it through the external DAC. My research says that for an amp at the CXA61 level, there is little point in going too crazy with the external DAC because the CXA61 probably won't be able to resolve the finer details anyway. I am very happy with my modest (and affordable) system.

@@Creativity4John After the other videos of silvestrus, I have purchased topping E30İİ. Now my current set up is; Focal Chorus 806V, marantz model 50, topping e30ii and wiim pro. For me it is perfect. I love it. Even with my old amp Nad 316 bee it is quite nice in low volumes.

There is always something better around the corner. ;-) It depends on the room. When I've moved to new place I had to get rid of these since I had too much bass. I'm happy owner of MA Silver 100 for couple of years but I started to look to upgrade...

Q Acoustics are nice speakers but have own laid back signature. I would definitely try to audition them first to see if they fits your perception of good sound.

Really, thank you for your reply. I heard plenty floorstand speaker, but in my country it's not common to have this kind of brand (just a local one). That's what make me want to buy one, haha.

Yes, I've ended with CXA as my choice of amp.

Yes, it didn't work out for me at the end. Bass was too pronounced for my taste. Currently driving speakers with IOTAVX stack which is much more neutral combination.

тут нужны деноны старше.

Denon baš ima izražen bas. Od svih pojačala koje sam imao kod sebe Denon ima najviše basa. Dosta dobar izbor za nekog tko voli takav zvuk. Ja sam ipak više ljubitelj neutralnog zvuka tako da se Denon nije dugo zadržao kod mene upravo zbog naglašenog basa. Ali na neke zvučnike koji su malo tanji u basu bi bio izvrstan odabir. Moji Silveri imaju dosta velike drivere i ne treba potencirati bas područje.

Moje iskustvo s MA je da trebaju dosta odmaka od svih zidova, jer su dosta jaki u basu, čak i ovi manji modeli za na stalak, a i ovaj pma600 je igračka od pojačala pa i nije neko mjerilo za ove zvučnike, ja gledam da bi uzeo pma1700, djeluje dosta ozbiljno pojačalo

You can find Roksan K3 on hifishark for decent price. If you don't mind buying used gear. That's one potent amp that doesn't have issues to drive any speakers and I loved sound with my Silvers.

It is great match for MA Silver. Very nice sound with good punch. Fun, entertaining sound. One of the best amps that I had in my system.

Yes. They are worth that money.

Roksan K3, Cambridge Audio CXA61 or IOTAVX. Those matchings were the best for my taste.

Hi ! Roksan Caspian M2 ?

Unfortunately, Rotel was not good match for MA Silver. It is too detailed, and little bit on the bright side. It would be perfect match for darker sounding speakers. CXA61 is not that neutral but it is fun amp. I don't have it anymore but I wouldn't mind to have it again.

​@@HiFiSB Thank you replying, it means much to people to learn how different combinations sound together without having ability to hear in person.

I think its the room. Too much hard surface real estate.

Exactly, no room treatment at all. Phone recordings amplify that. In reality, it is much more pleasing to listen.

+ Yes, I like laid back sound of Q Acoustics. From some time distance, I beleive that it would be better match to add something more sparkly than Marantz, let's say Rotel A11 Tribute would be good match I suppose.

It is always hard to get better impression when someone records video with the phone like I did. But in this case, CXA61 was clear winner.

@@HiFiSBthanks. Choosing my first amplifier nearly got me in the hospital 😂 there is just so much to choose from. I finally went for Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 paired with KEF R3 Meta. I am very happy with final result.

Q Acoustics 3050i mi je bio bolji. Veći zvuk. Bronze 5 nisu bili tako dobri prilikom tišeg slušanja. Trebalo ih je pojačati dosta da bi bilo ok. Ali opet... Silver serija je odlična od MA.

Hvala na odgovoru. Naručio sam Fyn Audio F303, ali su mi pomiješali boje i vratio sam ga. Iznad svega bih preferirao čiste vokale, što nisam dobio od Q Acoustica. Vjerojatno najlakša odluka za ovu vrijednost je Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 koji ima najviše dobrih recenzija?

No, I don't have them anymore but they are still worth buying. Those are nice speakers.

@SilvioBaricevic Thanks for your answer and can I ask what kind of speakers you have or what you recommend me to buy under 1000 euros thanks

​@@HiFiSBwhat did you replace them with?

I have Monitor Silver 100 for some time now. IOTAVX stack driving those. Source is Tidal over WiiM mini connected to SMSL SU-1 DAC.
