£2800 credit to spend a Sevenoaks.

Thanks for the ideas guys.

I've heard the Quad set-up at a show and remember liking it, so it will be one of the first to be demo-ed. The Preamp/CDP into power is a tempting option, so I'll try it with as many amps as they have.

I'm also interested in the new Cyrus kit. I've heard Cyrus 8 gear into Dynaudio's (whatever the replacements for the 1.3s are called) and was impressed with that. However I don't think 7Oaks do Dynaudio. I might have to look at PMC in their absence.

They also stock Roksan so I will be giving the new Caspian (M-seires -1 ?) gear a listen.

Also, like I said, I'm interested in this new MF X pre amp and power thats coming out. Its getting hot press.

As far as Home Cinema is concerned. I'm going off the idea slowly. I had my eye on the new Denon 3910 player, as its supposed to do a half decent job with music. But I can't find any HT amps that are decent musically. I'll give it a shot, but if it can't cut the mustard in stereo, then its out.

 

Nice one. I'll be interested to hear how you get on, do keep us informed.
