Replacement for Monitor Audio RX6

Thanks for input. A_Passion not sure if selling but based in Louisiana, there in gloss black and mint condition except one very tiny mark. Otherwise perfect. Thinking however that the amp maybe issue. What suggestions do you have either

1. Pre amp to go with Rotel
2. Sell Rotel and get new/used power amp and pre amp
3. Integrated amp?

Have to go well with Oppo 105 and Monitor Audio. Also correct connections so utilize DAC in Oppo.

Budget and prefer used as get better gear but if integrated or new pre and power amp up to $3000 or if pre amp only up to $2000 ish

Thanks in advance

If you are considering a preamp, consider a new($1495) Onkyo 3000 reference series. Comments have been very positive regarding the entire Onkyo reference series components. I would hold off on new speakers. With the preamp being the strongest link you will have a better idea if your amp/speakers meet your needs. You never mentioned speaker cables/interconnects/power cords. Look into Signal Cable-Silver Resolution series. This will give you a great foundation to consider further upgrades(if desired).

I also think your speakers will reward you for upgrading your amp and preamp. A used Hegel H300 integrated would be close to your price range and would likely provide vast improvements in tonality and overall refinement. Pass Labs may also be worth a look. Best of luck.

"So do you think buying a decent pre amp is a better option than new speakers? Any suggestions of pre amp that would work well with Rotel and Oppo?"

A decent preamp, no. A good preamp, then yes. Some good options (used): Ayre K5, CJ Premier 18, VTL 2.5, BAT 3.

I would opt for a tube based component...be it preamp, intergrated, etc...this will supply some warmth...and older tube like CJ would be an option as well...I have heard many MA speakers and warmth is not an attribute that comes to mind...at least to me..they are a former Stereophile B speaker I believe...so they can compete with 2k and above speakers
