I’ll second the Schiit Vidar suggestion if you’re not a tube freak (like me), as I’ve recently become a Schiithead…bought a Loki EQ (amazing…seriously), and have a Freya on the way (hope it’s good…man…new gear anxiety sucks). There’s a review from Steve Guttenberg on CNET where he points out that a Vidar, Freya, Elac (speakers) system could be hard to beat for some small money (and he reviews a Freya and a Vidar)…like 2 grand for the whole damn thing (although cables and front end stuff would add to the cost as, after all, you need to put a signal through the pile).
Amp selection for someone on a modest budget...
I'm slowly upgrading my system on a modest budget and I'm looking to add a power amp next. I have Revel
Performa3
F208 speakers that I'm looking to drive with this/these amp(s). I would like to get an amp(s) that I could keep if I upgrade to other speakers in the future but that isn't a deal breaker. My room is 14' deep and 30 feet wide. I listen at about 11' feet from the speakers. Future upgrades will include additional Performa3 speakers but this amp won't drive these. My current receiver is a Rotel RSX-1055 which I am also looking to upgrade in the future. New or very slightly used is preferred. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
