Which amp is good for Spendor SP-1

NAD are wonderful values, offering neutral sound and generous watts. I really like the NAIM integrated amp 5i and can also recommend the Exposure 2010 or the LFD Zero III.

i don't see where anyone suggested the nad, but they are excellent units, i would buy the most power i could buy in the nad intergrated sereis, they are very musical but you don't want to drive them real hard, they do have the protection, but buy POWER, also , i believe the audio advisor will let you return within 30 days...good listening , also i wanted to mention, there is a musical fidelity intergrated for 700 on audiogon, and iknow that is a beast and i have owned one.....

Thanks for the responses.I see that audio advisor is selling the NAD C272 for $500. It that a good match? will I do better with the used stuff here at audiogon for the same price? They also have the integrated C372 for 799.

I was a dealer for them, have used them since 1970 (BC-1) and have used more amps on them than I can remember. What I am using now are a Musical Fidelity M3, and Meridian 605s, both discontinued. I have not heard the Exposure 2010 myself but it has an excellent reputation as a very musical amp. Some of the older Musical Fidelity would also be very good and are available at favorable prices. The Spendor is not demanding but I have found out that it will sound better the better amp you use. Tubes are fine if you are inclined that way.

i have owned the spendor speakers and i really like how musical they are....i especially liked the cayin tube amp , also naim solid state, if these are not in your price range, then consider rotel...they work well with most designs i believe..hope this may give you an idea....i used mine with the cayin tubes and loved it..
