Speaker Pairing Question

I picked up a pair of Paradigm Monitor 7s V.6 this week dispite being admonished not to do so by several people that seemingly know what they are talking about.

Are you going to ignore the advice given here as well?

Just by chance I heard those speakers today attached to an Ayre AX-7e integrated. They were excellent together and should be at the top of your list.

Lots of choices in the $600 - $800 range. Ponnie has some good advice...especially the Naim NAIT recommendation - magic! The DL110 is a gem on the SL1210.

Musical Fidelity, Rega, Linn, Creek are all strong choices, too! Depending on your sense of adventure, you might want to consider a vintage receiver from the late 70's/early 80's - Marantz, Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, Yamaha, etc.

Don't go crazy on cables - yet. Start w/ good, basic copper, then experiment as funds allow.

...just remember - if it sounds good to you, it IS good!

Lots of good reading at The Audio Asylum ;)

Good luck!
