I never recommend vintage separates to a novice. Too many issues can occur. Start with something newer or simpler. Rouges could be great or on the simpler side Jolida.
Novice looking for advice
I'm in the market for a two channel system and would appreciate advice from more experienced owners of higher end equipment.
I heard some Linn Akurate 242's at a local dealer. Loved the speakers but Linn products seem awfully expensive. Has anyone had any experience with these speakers paired with either Mcintosh or Rogue Electronics? What I had in mind is a mac tube preamp, mac 250 amp, source I'm still at a loss. For about the same price as the mac stuff I can probably get Rogue monos and a preamp. Any responses would be much welcomed.
