Description

I would like to focus on 2ch music going forward. This system handles all the surround sound I need. I listened to some Magenpan 1.6's at the local audio shop and was really impressed. However in my current house I am limited by room size, a 4 year old boy, and a Brittany Spaniel puppy. I think my next upgrade should be a nice CD transport. Maybe a used Rega Planet or the like. Opinions?

I purchased all of my speakers at the same time. I had the funds to "upgrade" from the Atoms to the Titans, but I honestly liked the sound of the Atoms better. The Titans had better low end, but the Atoms had clearer mids/highs and better imaging.

Filling my speaker stands with sand was a WOW moment. Imaging and soundstage improved quite a bit.

I am actually using a NAD T741 as the amp instead of the Outlaw 7125. The NAD pre/pro section broke which is why I purchased the Outlaw 950. So my first purchase will be a nice used Outlaw 7125 (Open to other suggestions here too, I am OK with continuing to use the NAD to power the center and surrounds and going with a better 2ch amp to power my mains if that will give me better 2ch music) and some interconnects. After that will be a Rega or ??
