Placed an order for Norge 1000 with Mr Bajaj. Will go in for Norge + Wharf combo for the present, upgrade to Marantz PM next year
Hi abracher9,
The Norge amp + Wharfe combo has a signature that has many satisfied owners on this forum (including me in past). Adding Marantz cdp in chain will enhance that experience further. This is not to dis-orient you from your decision, but I strongly suggest Usher V-601 bookshelves (@35k MRP) instead of Wharfe 9.5. This Usher + cdp + Norge should still be close to your 60k budget.
Usher V-601 has flatter freq response and can deliver more micro details than Wharfe... these qualities matter if you passionately look for finer details in music. If you don't want your music louder than 100 dB (at 2m from speaker), then this bookshelf will serve as good as wharfe 9.5 floorstander in loudness & bass.
Regds,
