Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6

I don't think its the speakers or the amp that is making you second guess the sound your getting from your system.

It's using a Marantz Pre-Pro as your pre-amp thats your problem as this is the weak link. It was designed for multi-channel sound decoding and processing. The 2 channel pre-amp section in your Marantz, even in pure direct mode, is merely an afterthought by the manufacturer. You said your moving away from multi-channel and going 2 channel only, right? So get a component designed to do 2 channel stereo - get a true stereo pre-amp!

Good luck brother.

Currently I'm not using the Marantz. So my Rotel is connected directly to Oppo utilizing the DAC in the Oppo. So do you think buying a decent pre amp is a better option than new speakers? Any suggestions of pre amp that would work well with Rotel and Oppo? What about a decent integrated?

Morty, I thought the RX6's were a very good speaker. However, if you're sure they are the weakest link and are looking to sell them please let me know. I might be interested depending upon their condition, price and where you are located. Thanks.

I agree the MA RX-6 are good speakers and a great value for the money. You may want to move to better amp/pre as suggested or to an integrated amp.

If your looking for a warm sounding speaker consider Focal as well.

Good Luck

Thanks for input. A_Passion not sure if selling but based in Louisiana, there in gloss black and mint condition except one very tiny mark. Otherwise perfect. Thinking however that the amp maybe issue. What suggestions do you have either

1. Pre amp to go with Rotel
2. Sell Rotel and get new/used power amp and pre amp
3. Integrated amp?

Have to go well with Oppo 105 and Monitor Audio. Also correct connections so utilize DAC in Oppo.

Budget and prefer used as get better gear but if integrated or new pre and power amp up to $3000 or if pre amp only up to $2000 ish

Thanks in advance
