My (mostly) Marantz system(s)

Hi AKers,

Here she be:
IMG_20171108_200712783.jpg


The pieces are:

Surround:
Marantz SR5011 / Emotiva BasX A-300 (FL/FR power) , Marantz UD7007 (also as BD / DVD-A decoder)
Focal Cobalt 815 fronts / Focal Cobalt CC20 center / Focal Opal 607 surrounds
Pair of Infinity Infinitesimal 10" Servo Subs

Stereo:
Marantz PM6005, Marantz CD5004 (digital coax to PM6005's dac)
Philips FP 930 (!) turntable with AT95E cartridge and Proel RCAs - actually built by Dual;
Wharfedale Jade3s on Mission Stancette stands

Argon and QED Performance interconnects, QED Performance Original speaker cables with dealer-applied QED banana plugs.

Any opinions? Any suggestions :) ?

It's not an outright high-end system, but I absolutely love the sound of it. I have been working on it for 2 years, and I have tried very many combinations:

Denon: AVR-1908; AVR-1713; AVR-3805; AVR-X2300W; DCD1550AR; DCD725
Cambridge Audio: Azur 340A & 540Cv2 / 640Cv1; DacMagic 100
Philips: FA 950; CD950; FT950; FP930;
Pioneer PL-335 / A-717 Mk2
Technics Su-A700; SL-PS7; RS-AZ6
Arcam: CD73; CD192
Speakers: Pioneer HPM700; Infinity Reference 60; Canton Ergo SC-L; Infinity Kappa 70; Jamo E750; Magnat Monitor Supreme Sub 302A; JMLab Cobalt sub

Future plans are to move, stereo-wise, to a PM800x (say 8005) and SA800x (say SA8005), as I totally adore the sound of Marantz.
For video, I wil prolly get the successor of the UD7007 (which btw, can be had for about 500 euros, and it sounds brilliant in stereo) as soon as it comes out
I also need a new (read: better) turntable, and have yet no idea where to start looking...

The subs could use an upgrade, I agree, but the space is tight at the moment, so they will have to suffice, for the time being.

Many thanks
A
