Hi Guys,
Today was my big day. I finally got to audition the Cadence Avita speakers. The Tube amp was not working (some static noise was there), so used the Marantz PM7002 amplifier.
I went with very high expectation after reading lots of good reviews and I aws initially not lifted off in the air. It was when they played Veer Zaara nd Michael learns to rock, I had my self realization.
The music was not forcing itself into my ears, it was there and I was enjoying it. The detailing was amazing and never in my life had I experienced such a listening experience.
Since I do not own a speaker setup at home (its true, waiting for the ultimate setup), I asked them to switch over to Spendour and then I realized the difference. Cadence should not be called speakers but Music environment reproduction system. It got proved once again when I listened to JMLabs Focal.
Listening to Cadence was like being beside the singer and his orchestra and not listening to them from the CDs. It is worth investing every bit into it.
NOw I am in a dillema....
I am being offered an used Amaya (6 years old, ES panel + driver replaced with new ones, seller going for an upgrade). I am to audition them coming weekend. Should I go for a new Avita or used Amaya. Which is the best option provided bboth perfom the same?
Also, I really liked the Marantz PM7002. Should I go for Marantz PM7001 or NAD C355? Which will do justice to the cadence speakers? I like soft rock and music composition by Ilayaraja and AR Rehman?
Please advise... (Can someone ask Manek to give his comments?)
