I have returned to my Rotel RB-1090 after Nuforce 9SE and Parasound JC-1's since I moved to a smaller house and can no longer fit the JC-1's in the room. I am very satisfied since the Rotel has more body in the bass/midbass and has no real drawbacks in my system. The JC-1's had a bit more tonal color and air but I don't really miss them. I have PSB Synchrony 1's and had Stratus Goldi's before that and the Rotel is great with either one and they are similar (duh) to your Silvers. If you want more body and warmth look for an RB-1090 (discontinued now) used. For $1000.00-1200.00 it is worth a try but get a handtruck since they weigh about 90#. SF Stereo had a demo for $1200.00 when I was there a few weeks ago and I almost bought it just to have a spare. Maybe they still have it.
Recommendation for a warm mid/high end amp
Not sure where to begin. I currently have an Acurus A250 amp and it sounds really good. Why i'm upgrading i'm not sure. I have a B&K Ref 70 preamp and PSB stratus silver speakers. It's a great combo. The SQ is amazing on some recordings. The Ref 70 is amazing if anyone is interested. I'm thinking of upgrading the Acurus amp to something else but what? I've had bryston and I wasn't too impressed as it seemed to bright to me. Any other ideas for a neutral/warm amp? I was thinking of sticking with B&K. Krell, Parasound, Anthem? There are so many choices.
