I agree with jperry. However I am a low power tube fan. 15wpc may not be enough but that depends on your room. But the only speakers that will work with the Quads are the Paradigm (93db). If you want a good tube amp which is a good all around performer, I might suggest the Bob Latino ST-70. But by doing so I am probably opening the thread for everyone’s favorite amp who posts in this thread
Suggestions for my next upgrade
I would love to get some suggestions for my next upgrade. I have between $2000-3000 for my next upgrade. I listen to 90% vinyl and 10% digital music. Most of my listening is folk, acoustic guitar, and classic rock, but I do range into some jazz and blues.
My current set up is:
Cary Audio SL-100 preamp
NAD C-272 amp
Pro-Ject RPM 1 with Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge
Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 phono amp
NAD D 1050 DAC
Paradigm Monitor 11 speakers
The following is what I have been considering - although subject to change based upon items selling before my decision.
I am thinking to upgrade the speakers or the amp
The speakers that I am considering are:
Paradigm Prestige 85F - which are really pushing the budget
Contract Audio Black Moon - which I don't really know much about
KEF R900
B&W CM10 S2 - not a real fan of the appearance
The Amps are:
PS Audio Stellar M700 pair - class D 350 watt
Quad Classic Monoblock - tube amp 15 watt
The amps couldn't be more different except that they are both mono block pairs.
Again, any thoughts would really be appreciated.
