Hello Scifidelity, This thread will prove most beneficial to you if you answer Rar1s very appropriate question: "Is there something about the overall sound of your current system that you are looking to change?"
amp upgrade
Hello all. This is my first post! My system is as follows (mixed Home Theater and Two in Channel in one):
Arcam BDP 100 (cd analog out to preamp)
Rogue 99 Magnum with custom HT Bypass
Rotel 1056 Home Theater Receiver
Rotel 1070 amp
B&W CM4s
MIT AVT3 speaker cables
all kimber timbre interconnects
*I listen to mostly Jazz, some folk
My question is i am looking to upgrade my amp...I am only willing to buy used (cost). I am strongly considering McIntosh (e.g. MC 2105) and Bryston (e.g. 3b). My question is also will both of these examples (which are both 25 years old) be noticably better than my rotel which is probably about 8 years old. Then what other amps should I be considering? Thanks so much for your insight!
