3 Options of Speakers + Integrated Amp. appreciate all the thoughts about..

Greetings to all music lovers out there.

I appreciate all the thoughts about experiences from audio enthusiasts and musics lovers, with 3 options that I’m considering for a vinyl playback amplification system + speakers.

Thoughts from owners of this equipments are very appreciated, and also from people that had the opportunity to listen the equipments, and as well, people that would like to share insights about the design and technical aspects about the combos, experience with the "house sound" of this gears and etc..

Here’s the combos:

Dynaudio Contour 60 or 30 + Matantz PM-10

Yamaha NS-F901 + Yamaha A-S3000

Paradigm Persona 3F + Anthem STR Integrated

I owned the Contour 60's.

Solid speaker, really good bottom end.  Not quite as open as as big of a soundstage as I like.  But, it's possible I like a slightly exaggerated soundstage.

While I've not heard that particular Marantz piece, I would expect it to be pretty smooth, the Contours certainly are not bright.  

I think you would find a very nice listening, full bodied system.  The Contours do like power though.  Esotar tweeter is always nice, detailed yet not harsh.

Good speaker, though not the biggest soundstage.

Thanks for the all the thoughts.

Hey big_greg, do you also listened the Anthem STR Integrated with the Paradigms via the phono stage?

Thanks!

The room correction of the Anthem is a serious game changer. It is worth evaluating.

@bluenote64 We listen to a lot of vinyl and I'm pretty sure it is through the anthems phono stage and it sounds great.
