With the efficiency of the 140 mk2 you have the option of considering a class A intergrated, the Sugden A21 is a possibility. If you want or need more power consider a used Rowland Concentra 2. Of the amps you mentioned I would only consider the BAT but I would prefer the intergrated VK-300x due to the convenience of 1 box and 1 less pc/ic.
Amp for Proac Studio 140 mk2?
Hello,
My current set up consists of the following components:
Wadia 121 DAC -> Anthem MCA-20 -> ProAc Studio 140 Mk2
I am looking to upgrade the amplifier with either an Integrated or a power amp (Wadia recommends that the 121 hooks directly into a power amp).
I am considering used equipment (and assuming that I can resell and swap if the sound isn't what I am looking for) and have a budget of $3000 to $3500. I am looking for something that will pair well with the Proacs and leave a bit of room for growth down the road.
Due to kids, pets, etc, I am leaning towards solid state, but I haven't ruled out tubes.
I have considered:
Ayre V5Xe
McIntosh MC252
BAT VK-255SE (pushing the budget)
Simaudio W-5
Krell S-300i
Any thoughts or suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks!
