above is assuming that CDP has a better dac than AVR.
Interesting comment.............you feel the sonic output will be better with analog over digital? How much of an improvement would it make? Might be worth to try it in my setup as well.
Thanks.Koushik.I think he meant since he is using a blu ray player and a digital output to send to the avr, decoding is already being done by the marantz amp, so incremental improvement by adding a CDP (mainstream ones) may not be that much of an improvement..
I agree to this..the CDP will only help (if at all) if the CDP DAC is better than the DAC of the current marantz amp, I doubt whether this will matter given his current setup.

so has anyone gone for this deal as yet?
I was very keen on GS speakers, even a little more than the Thiels, but Denny @ Bass and Treble didn't have any for audition.
Thanks.Koushik.
Again the argument is valid, I agree.
I realise now that logically CDP should make a diff if Marantz AVR DAC is inferior to CDP. Any idea if AVR DAC's are as good as CDP DAC. So should I go for a stereo amp - connect it to Blu Ray to get more visible improvement ( again if at all) in sound quality
- or should I ditch the idea and enjoy music as it is![]()

When I approached Audio people they were not willing to come down even a penny on the GS10. The final price was 63k (same as BLASTO has listed on the first page). I had asked them to get the walnut color from chennai and I think they have it now in Hyd. I will probably go and pick it up from their place one of these days.
I thought of GS10 but its out of my budget. I am considering RS5 but unable to find reviews for the same. Also considering Blasto's Jamo.
Just curious,
- this deal sounds too good to be true
- how do we know its for real, these are new speakers and not old ones re-packaged (i live in mumbai and the store is in Hyd)
- they will not give a bill, so how do we get warranty support. what proof do i have that i have bought these speakers

folks
spoke to soma varma @ audio people, jubilee hills hyd. Interested in gs20 (was almost going to buy the rx6 silver series, makes much more sense to put in a little more and get the gold series)

Hi Guys,
Last week I had checked out these speakers at Audio people@hyd and I was quoted 42K final price for RS5 and 72k final price for RS8. Just came across this thread today and I am surprised that I was quoted with so much more price difference. The guy was Varma who has been mentioned on this thread.
GS10 are actually book shelf speakers right? Are they better than RS8 though RS8 are floor standing speakers?
Also could I get the number of Jalel so that I can ask him for prices please
