That Bryston is not $600, it's the current bid.
I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!!
Hello Everyone!
First I really appreciate any input you might have for me!
I am very new to the audiophile environment. I have a Jeff Rowland Coherence One preamp and an Oracle Delphi MK II Turntable with Alphason HR 100s tone arm, and a Micro Benz Glider M2 MC cartridge.
I also have a Parasound Dac.
I am borrowing a Bryston 3b to power my speakers.. however I need to buy my own.
Bryston is great! however I need more power for my NHT VT-2.4 speakers which has a 88db sensitivity and are 6 ohms..
However they sound great with my other pair of ADS L810 speakers which are 88db and are 4 ohms...
I would like like to buy an amp and spend about $1.000
What would you all recommend???
Best Regards
Ugur

Grab a pair of Sony TA-N80ES and run them in monoblock configuration. They'll output 370W @ 6 Ohms 0.003% THD each channel. Here's someone selling them for $625 each or best offer: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-sony-ta-n80es-stereo-power-amplifier-8381-2016-10-16-amplifiers-80020-broomfield-co Sounds like there's room to negotiate? |
My limited experience, CJ tube vs Bryston vs McIntosh vs Adcom. CJ good customer service, probably beyond your budget but I really enjoy my MV60SE. Bryston overall my favorite, awesome service, warranty and quality. If the 3B-SST isn't enough amp, $1000 may not come close. McIntosh, great sound quality but no better than CJ or Bryston, not so great service IMO, and pricey. Adcom, huge bang / watts for the buck on the used market, but does not have quite the sound quality of the others. |
Hello Shinemaster, I am running Adcom 555 high current amps you can pick-up a nice one for less than $500.00. My speakers are Kef 104.2 reference series and found them not long ago for like brand new for $275.00 for a pair! - check that the tweeters and cones on the speakers to make sure they are solid and don't need work. ( Twenty-five years ago I spent $1000,00 a pair and that was half price) I also have a audio alchemy DAC and Digital interface pro 32 with the upgraded chip and software it comes loaded. A DAC unless you are buying a $1000.00 Cd player is a very big upgrade to any system and worth every penny!! This maybe old school and if you can afford the best that I am happy for you but unless I hit the lottery I am very happy with my old sound system. I don't know where these people work or if Mommy & Daddy gave them them money for $15,000 amps, speakers and DAC, ect. This cost me approx 1500.00 for everything and this system will Rock your living room with nice clean detailed sound without mortgaging your house. |
