So for giggles I’m trying an Onkyo TX-NR809 AV receiver I had sitting around that I paid $150 for. This retailed for $1100 years back. I have it set to Pure Audio mode which limits to 2 channel and bypasses all the DTS And tone control processing. Well, it sounds pretty good actually. The $500 I spent on the used Tektons is just about the best money I’ve spent in audio over the years. Also no need for a subwoofer either. May still go the integrated route but thinking I’ll have go up the food chain and up my budget so to speak to make a notable improvement in sound quality
Cambridge Audio axa35 integrated amplifier ?
Hello,
It’s been several years since my last post. Years back I sold off all my audio gear, tubes, 800 or so albums. Now getting back into the groove but on a much smaller scale money wise. I acquired a used pair of Tekton Lore speakers. Have an older NAD dvd/cd player running through a Schiit Modi dac. The Tekons are efficient so I’ve been checking reviews on the Cambridge Audio axa35. Reviews seem stellar for the price point. Anyone using this amp? Comments? I also considered the NAD 3020 Class D. I’ve owned tube gear so I tend to prefer sound slightly on the warmer side. Budget is 350 ish. Thank you
