I’m on my 3 and final speaker to partner my 6000a. I have found my perfect partner and I’m delighted , the Q Acoustics Concept 40 .My current system is the excellent Audiolab 6000a with Monitor Audio Silver RX1, BK XLS 200 (high level input). Digital inputs from the TV and Spotify through a Sonos ZP120. Chord Odyssey speaker cables.
I am looking to soon replace the RX1’s. Perfect condition but I imagine quite a bit has changed in 7 years. But I will audition as they sound pretty great.
So the question is, and maybe just for fun, what speakers are you running through your 6000a? I think it’s a better amp than the price suggests. #1 contender for me at the moment is the Dynaudio Emit 20, but the 4ohm load worries me a little. They are also not wife friendly in their looks....
First up was B&W 607 , great speaker but not with audiolab , way too bright and harsh sounding , sold them and bought Wharfedale Diamond 11.3 which on paper should’ve been a perfect match but they never worked in my room , I have wooden floors and they also sounded too bright and thin and had trouble filling my room with sound, I moved them into my bedroom which is carpeted and the sound was improved a lot ,but still , they had to go .Onto the 40’s , what attracted me at first was the price , a £1000 speaker selling at £700 ! I done some research and went for it , I’m glad I did , from the very note I could tell they were a vast improvement , such a huge detailed soundstage , I’m hearing things in my music I’ve never heard before , add the lovely warm rich bass and amazing build quality , not to mention the lacquered gloss finish and I couldn’t be happier , their looks aren’t for everyone but they do look so much better in real life , I won’t be changing my system for a very long time
