You say you want high fidelity and not just impressive sound. One idea that I have always gone back to: source, source, source! Always remember, any information lost or distorted at the source cannot be retrieved or corrected further upstream. Oversimplification to be sure, but the idea has been essential to get closer to my idea of what high fidelity is. Good luck and have fun.
Newbie to the awesome audiophile world
hi all, i'm a new member here and looking to learn from here of starting a stereo system. I'm thinking a basic 2 channel amp that can power a pair of floor standing speakers. I'm currently eyeing a pair of bowers & Wilkens cm9 or kef iq9 both used of course (my budget is around 2k for the setup) so around 1000 for the speakers or about 1000 for the amp. Given the speakers, what are your thought on amps to pair with them that provide the best sounding? I'm looking for high fidelity sound over raw power.
thanks all for viewing and helping this newbie out.
