Rocky, the Wharfedale prices should be the same across the country. Please check with a dealer in Delhi and let me know. Another thing you can do is to call Designer Audio in Mumbai directly and ask for a good price. One of the Forum members here (from Kochi), ordered for a Wharfedale 9.6 pair with Pro Musicals in Chennai, and got it delivered to his house in Kochi.

There are various ways available. Most dealers will also bargain.

Cheers

Abhijit - any specific pointers as to why you find the 9.5 more musical than the 9.6? I have listened to the 9.5 and plan on listening to the 9.6's. But it would be nice to have your thoughts based on experience.

hi sid,

you have denon 2309, how would you rate among denon 1909 and onkyo 606 or 706. Could you tell me if possible.

Which is more musical and decent movie avr.

HI, Do you still have it for sale? What is the price if so?

Later, just add the receiver of your choice and use the Pre-outs to add the Amp to the proposed HT!

Hey unleash_me & other senior audiophiles,please help me:

If I buy a stereo amp+2 speaker setup & plan to add the AVR later,how can I do it?Can you please explain such a setup considering I have a tata sky/DVD player/ipod/worldspace/laptop as A/V sources.

Also just a quest to all :

The sound quality as I understand will surely depend on the source.So if we are playing MP3 CD's using a good CD player,will the CD player+amp add extra zing ( quality ) to the music or it is true with original audio CD's only?

Please help to understand this newbie all these things.Please

An important thing about sound - all things being equal, you will face one problem with good equipment - it follows a simple " shit in - shit out" principle (just a metaphor..sorry for my French!). Bad recordings will be unbearable. Where as bad equipment can do that to your good recordings as well!

While most people serious about their music would NEVER use MP3's (purists will ONLY use Vinyls) , you should not have an issue with it if you have recorded at 256kbps or higher. Some of the latest amps come with various 'enhancers' to 'improve' compressed recordings - with arguable results!

Thanks.

I do understand that

MP3s are not audiophile stuff,but poor me can't afford all CD's,although I use only 320/256 kbps MP3

I'm planning to use a Marantz SR301 as my amp,but will only stereo setup ( may be 2.1 later but that's it,no 5.1).Please suggest.

Thanks

Please audiophiles help me.

Reason I'm looking into Marantz SR301 as my amp instead of CA 340ASE are :

1.I need to connect a sub as I love bass and do watch good amount of action/war movies.
2.I'm very limited on budget,so the first pure stereo amp with a sub/pre out is 540A V2 ( I think so,please suggest if any other option) which costs 18k ( my budget is 12-14K max fr the amp )

Suggest please.
