My suggestion is to make sure to only purchase an amplifier you have listened to in your home with your system. You never know if you will like it until you get it home. I tend to buy used electronics, but you will have to have a local high end dealer who deals in used equipment to listen to it at home.
Need advice on amplifier upgrade
I currently have 802 matrix III,a rega planet cd player and a sony es receiver which I plan to upgrade soon. I'd like advice on which amps would match up well and whether I should go with an integrated amp or power amp using my sony as a pre amp until i can upgrade that down the road.
