    Hi there. Dipping back into hi-fi for the first time since I bought my current system in the original Richer Sounds Dublin in 1993! (Marantz CD52 Mk.2/Rotel 930 AX/Mission 760i). All still going but tiring a little....particularly the speakers.

    I'm keeping the CD player for the moment and my budget for amp/speakers is €700 or so. I'm looking at the Cambridge Audio SX80 speakers. What amp(s) would you recommend with them?

    If you can recommend any other amp/speaker combinations in that price range, I'd like to hear.

    I'll be paying by card in Euro and looking for delivery included.

    Thanks.

    Hi Magilla Gorilla.

    Thanks for coming back to us for your NEW system.

    The SX80 have been a popular speaker and sounds very well indeed. Currently priced up at 349.99 Euro (inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201222-cambridge-sx80-black.aspx

    You could perhaps also look at the Monitor Audio Mr4 priced at 370.00 Euro (inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200806-mr4-black.aspx

    You could pair this with the following amps:

    Yamaha AS201 priced at 204.99 Euro (Inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-12592-as201-black.aspx

    Onkyo A9010 priced at 269.99 Euro (Inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-201387-a9010.aspx

    Or the Yamaha AS501 (Little over budget) coming in at 299.99 Euro (Inc Delivery)
    http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200899-as501.aspx

    Let me know if any of the above catch your eye.

    Any questions drop me a post.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I'll have a look at those suggestions.

    If I was to go a bit more on speakers (say replace the amp later), what would your recommendations be? I listen to all sorts, but mainly 60's/70's rock. But good singer/songwriters feature too (John Martyn, Beth Orton, Nick Drake etc.)
