I am very close to ordering the MC611 monoblocks and C2700 tube preamp and a Audioquest Niagara 5000 power conditioner. Cables, interconnect, stands, and music streamer are next (dealer suggested the HIFIRose RS250 (although I read on this forum there were some issues).
Opinions: Martin Logan Renaissance 15a vs. Bowers & Wilkins 800D3
I have a choice between the ML Renaissance 15A used and Bowers & Wilkins 800D3 used, both are in great shape and priced near the same. I did attempt to listen to each under less than ideal conditions.
Which speaker would you pick and why?

@farne230 if you’re going the CD player route I would suggest a player with a USB input. Audio Research, Luxman and Marantz come to mind. You can then get a dedicated streamer without a built in DAC and run its usb out into the usb in of the cd player to utilize its internal DAC. Unless of course you want to add a separate DAC and transport. Lots of options to explore. |
