B&W CM1 vs. 705 - Page 2

I'd certainly take a Rotel + B&W + Emu route before I consider anything else. The Emu didn't work for me because of Vista but maybe you'll fare better with the Mac?

The CM definitely requires a good amp, as it's very inefficient power wise so you definitely don't want to skimp on the amp. Not sure how the Outlaw would do in comparison but I've never been disappointed with any Rotel I've heard. They tend to be very exacting sounding, and would complement the B&W well.

Ah ok, sounds like I'll give it a go. I'll give the 1062 a listen at a local dealer. It may take one or two months before I have it all set up luciyuspax as my current living arrangement doesn't really support speaker listening, but I'll keep you updated through PM's.

If anyone else happens to have an opinion, feel free to chime in

I've read this thread with great interest because I am also looking to add a pair of bookshelf speakers and amp to my computer source which is Apple lossless files > iTunes > MacBook Pro > Apogee Duet DAC. Today I had a listen to the exact same setup as recommended on this thread - the B&W CM1 and Rotel RA-1062 - and was very impressed. I am comparing this to my HD650s.

Any further feedback from the OP on this? Did he buy this setup? I was wondering what my weakest link would be in this set up if I went for it.

Is it for your desktop ?

According to me, you need at least 2 meter from CM1 to appreciate
