Won't the tone controls on something like the RA-1592 be able to tame the highs?
Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000?
So I just purchased a pair of B&W CDM-9NT and am now going deep down the rabbit hole trying to find an amp that’s going to let these speakers sing to their fullest. I keep coming back to Rotel as the consensus appears to be that these amps pair very well with B&Ws. I was trying to keep the budget to $1000...then $1500...now I’m looking at $3000 options...I’m not willing to go up to the McIntosh prices at the moment so I’m capping myself at $3k new or used.
I was thinking that going integrated was the best option when looking at the $1500ish options. Now maybe separates would make sense at $3000?
Goals in sound are excellent imaging and separation. Strong and tight bass is a must. Music selection is mainly very bass forward genres like hip hop & EDM. I also enjoy jazz, rock and sometimes classical as the mood strikes. A must have is digital connectivity for hi-res streaming. The room is 14x18 if that matters.
Any help is appreciated.

+1 on the Hegel or if you dont have Switching-Phobia you could try this guy. https://www.psaudio.com/products/stellar-strata/Strata on audiogon here for $2.3K Or do a $1.5K Tube pre and a Class D amp. Wyred4Sound pre & amp combo might also be a solution. |
