I have a full set of Mirage Omnnisats (OS1PB-1's) for surround & a pair of M7's for stereo audio with a Mirage OM-200 Bi-Polar sub across all of it. I'm
running a Yamaha RX-V2500. My cd changer is a Harmon/Kardon FL8400. I've had this setup for years and it still sounds awesome. When I bought the
Yamaha, I had the opportunity to test multiple cd changers in the store sound room, using only my M7's with an RX-V1500 (i upgraded the receiver in 2005).
In my price range the H/K 5-disc multi-changer hit the sonic sweetspot for me. I've only had it serviced once in all these years as the belt that turns the tray
wore out. The other players I tried were Yamaha & Denon. There was enough of an audible difference between these that, as soon as I heard the H/K...I
bought it. I use (and stand by) various AudioQuest interconnects for all of it but after getting the RX-V2500, I switched as much as I could to optical. My next
upgrade will be to an RX-V3800, when I can afford it or when the price comes down a little more. I haven't used a turntable in years so I won't be able to offer
any help with that, sorry.
btw- i'm also in Canada....eh?
