Burner's Audio Journey...

[Burner]

Hi folks.
As promised a long time ago in the welcome topic I am finally starting my thread.

When I joined the forum last year I owned:
Marantz PM 6010 OSE + Marantz CD 6000 OSE
Onkyo A-9211 + Onkyo DX-7111 + Onkyo TA-6511 + Onkyo T-4211 + Quadral QLX 160 (my first audio gear purchased using the money from my first real work)
Pioneer CT-S610
Sansui SE8

A lot have changed since. I no longer own anything from the above.

I have learned a lot from you all and from friends at http://theartofsound.net
I have also awaken my curiosity...

I am a big Onkyo fan and have also discovered "Hitachi", that I really like sonically and aesthetically.

Audio scene in Ireland is very small and I am also located far from anything so to get any experience I am trying to buy some gear in a good price to get an idea on how it sounds like and then selling if don't like it or keep it.
This behaviour lead to what is listed below:

Currently in the living room:
Onkyo P-303
Hitachi HMA-6500
Hitachi HGE-6500
Music Hall 25.2 CD
Onkyo TA-2500 Silver
Akai GX-6 Silver
Onkyo T-909
Onkyo TA-RW9090
Yamaha MDX-596
Pioneer PL-112D + AT95E

Tannoy Mercury V4

I am looking to upgrade speakers in the near future, but can't really decide on direction. So many to choose from.


Bedroom:
Yamaha CA-1010
Yamaha CT-1010
Yamaha TC-1000
Yamaha K-850
Logitech Audio Bluetooth

Celestion Ditton DL-6
Philips Fidelio X2

Looking for a CD player to add to this setup. Considering Yamaha CD-2.


So, there it is...

I really like the look of those components. There are a few brands (mostly Japanese I guess) from the era that have that styling that I find appealing. And they are sneaky good and well built typically.

 

[Dave_1962]

Good stuff_

 

[Burner]

Thanks @Dave_1962 , @Drugolf. There is something about the equipment from this time that "Got me". All older Onkyo, Yamaha, Akai have something very appealing to me.

 

[Kevin D]

Attractive gear and beautiful space, from floor to ceiling! It looks cozy in there.

 

[Burner]

@invalidbuffa - you are to kind! Thanks - @Kevin D - Thanks. I will try.

 

[KrautNotRice]

Can we see some pics of the speakers without grilles? Are those towers the Tannoys? Thx!

 

[Burner]

@KrautNotRice - the speakers are the cheap Tannoy Mercury V4's - great speakers for the money in my opinion.
