Jagat,
Hi! If u are a pure music listener then the combo of the Cambridge Audio's 540Av2 & 540Cv2 or the much better combo of the 640Av2 & 640Cv2 is better than going in for the Onkyo.

I was the GM -India for Onkyo way back in 1996 and know that they make good HT. Period. Music- forget it.

Do let me know what spks you are using. Recently a client of mine went in for a 540Rv2/DVD89 & a full Dali Concept HT and I too was shocked at the sound quality both for music as well as HT.

Do call me on 9844094669 for a demo appointment, my friend.

Hi Jagat, thanks for considering Cambridge Audio.
We have had an unprecedented demand for the latest Version 2 of the 540 and 640 Azur series - they have proven to be able to outperform all their rivals priced even thousands of rupees more.

Do drop by Absolute Phase for a demo, you should not consider anything else before you give Cambridge Audio a listen.

Guys,
I would request you please keep such post to "Private Messages" (PM). Its hardcore marketing to say the least. Someone coming into this forum reading this thread will immediately get a feeling that its a "AUDIO BAZAAR" rather than a forum. Please dont send such wrong signal at the infant stage of the forum. Its great that Dealers believe in their product hence they would recommend them, but please keep it to PM to maintain a sanity of the forum.

I do not think so. In fact most people visit forums to check on feedback, locations, etc. for the products they intend to buy. This forum anyway has been started by the dealers and all they are saying is to check out the product from them before buying. On other PC forums also, online marketers comments, availability, ratings, etc. are all there on threads, rather than through PM. One or two threads may be a bit much, but let us keep it in the thread rather than through PM. I am quite sure we can figure out who is a dealer and who is a user.

Just to clarify that this forum is not started by any dealer. It has been started by an individual who is an audiophile! Need more info please PM me.

Any dealer is free to participate in this forum (and undertsand that the best way to earn the trust and respect of forum members is to help them with their questions without directly promoting their company).

Dealers could also advertise their products & services here.

I hope that dealers undertsnad that by far the best way to earn the trust and respect of forum members is to help them with their questions without directly promoting your company.

Glad to hear that dealers have not started this forum. No need for any more information. Maybe you should charge the dealers (handsomely) for posting here to partly recover your costs! After all they charge us (handsomely) when we want to buy something!

NAD 542 CD Player, NAD 320 BEE Int. Amp, Monitor Audio Silver Series "S2" bookshelf speakers. Glorious Synergy between components. Great sound with all genres of music. Do write back if you need any further clarifications.

Thanks Lang! I will check out the MA Silver Series S2 bookshelf speakers.

Thanks for the input. I just checked the rotel website and noticed that they have replaced the RA-03 with the RA-06. I wonder if they have intoduced that over here.

Sorry to disagree friend, I dont know who has started this forum (though it has been clarified that he is not a dealer) but the essence of this forum is purely audio related discussion just like any other forum viz Audio Asylum, head-fi.com etc. If you check out those forums, such product promotion and commercial marketing like discussions are carried out only through PM. That preserves the sanity of the forum makes its environment quite neutral. Its ok to expect feedback about products but that when comes out of a dealers mouth is more like a marketing but when it comes out of a user's mouth is known as feedback.

Hi Dr. Bass have you heard the Athena AS-F2.2? I would like your view/opinion on them if you have heard them.

Dr.Bass · #30 22nd August 2006, 06:14 PM

I havent heard them...they are supposed to be terrific speakers.
