I see. Based on the reviews I have read thus far, I would say unifi is a better performing speaker overall.

I love W1000 for the warm sound with both male and female vocals. But AD2000x outperforms it in terms of sound imaging and sound stage. It's hard to choose which is my favourite. 😅
However, there's this W3000Anv that I have tried a few times and I would say it stays on the top of my list for ATH cans.

Thanks for the input. I shall dig into it later.


@ktek,
By the way, can CR612 be connected to an integrated amp? Let say if I have extra money one day and plan to upgrade the system.

he got rca & headphone output, u may join other devices no problem.

now im streaming radio on mcr611 to monitor audio silver floorstanding set. very good separation by nature of 3 way crossover.

So?

Are you saying that the elac Unifi and that B&W have the same sensitivity and impedance curve? So if it can drive the b&w then can drive the Unifi?And what does "no problem" mean? And you believe what Marantz says? There is really so many things wrong with your statement.

My Rm200 breeze audio chip amp with 10 Watts per channel also can drive that b&w but if you think that its going to do the speakers justice then you are just kidding yourself.

w0w good stuff. PM best price

I rest my case bro. Your weed is strong.

Good to hear that. Meaning I can also hook my headphone amplifier to it.
Thanks for the reply and input. 😁

i believe the ability since i got three diff generation mini at home.
oversea got speciality shop modding it to sell at much higher price.

after buy
do try the parallel bridge output and tell me how izit

like a toy but monster hide inside

You can believe what you want coz you believe power and current does not conform to the rules of physics. Like I said, your weed is strong.

well. u can say that to mr japanese too.
enjoying my imported weeds now

Chill out. Everyone believe what they want to believe. No point debating about it. There are some sifu around here will challenge people too but what is the point. If you can afford to get it and use it, be happy. If you cannot afford than its just do with what you have and can't complaint about it. I used to own B&W and I can say its a very easy to drive kind of speaker. 10watt or 300watt its totally fine with it. Its what the outcome. I one power crazy and will want as much watt as possible but some will say its ok with 10watt. Depend on what you like and how hard you willing to push the speaker. 802D3 can be push very hard without breaking it and that is the nice thing about the speaker. Marantz running it is totally no problem.

Personal biases are a poor excuse for giving bad advice to a newbie.
Ok, that B&W doesn't need much power, is it the same for the Elac Unifi? Yes, the MCR like my RM200 Breeze Audio can make any speakers produce some sound, but there is a difference in how well it drives the speakers without distorting. And no this is not just my opinion.

Yeah I totally agree that many can be biase. I myself could be biase as I like B&W quite a lot. Making a speaker to make some audio is very simple.
To make a speaker to sing is the art. Sometimes people will learn the hard way if they have to learn it that way. Can't really tell everyone this is a fact.
Enjoy your music and let the people who want to keep learning continue. For those who don't like to learn from it, that is all good too.

Using the parallel bridge output means I will be using just the DAC section and bypass the amplifier section of the receiver?

bridge output = joining two amp channel (stereo) into one (mono) to drive difficult load. cooperating together.
we frequently see this function in car audio.

the original device got 2Left 2Right output for two pair of speakers.
after u enable PBTL will make use of 2x2 amp channel to 1Left 1Right only

no relation Dac or bypass amp haha

actually unifi can use with Avr or not

I personally found B&W sound no issue and accurate of British signature. But its prices are higher than its sound offered. Not sure if Malaysia priced them too high.

Ah I see. I thought the bridge parallel refers to the RCA output 😳

Mind if I ask what speakers are you using?

B&W is premium kind of speaker. It’s definitely more expensive compare to U.K. but isn’t really too far off
