Help me out here. I am looking to match a budget (am thinking Marantz) to a pair of B&W 601 s2 speakers. I am new to all of this (this is my first real system) so any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've used a NAD7100 receiver with 601's, nice match. Audio Refinement Complete Integrated was a marriage made in heaven, and can be had for about $550 used. Happy listening, Jeff
The Marantz PM7000 is a great integrated amp for the $$$. It has plenty of power for the 601's and has a phono stage, source direct, etc. Other good amps to look at are the NAD C340 and Rotel RA1060. You couldn't go wrong with any of these.
Go get a used Acurus DIA 100 for $400 tops.Belive me you can't find a better sounding amp and it's built by a military contractor to specs that won't crap out after 10 years.A real brick sh*thouse.
BTW I sell B&W's for a living and don't sell or have stock in Acurus.It's just the amp I tell my buddies who don't have the disease "audiophillia nervosa" like me and the rest of the dorks who haunt thse sites instead of doing something productive.Check out their web site off Kilpsch who bought Mondial who own Aragon/Acurus.
