    Question New amplifier/system for a semi-newbie

    That's for sure! My main concern is obtaining quality at low volume. One of my friends suggested to get a less powerful amp (specifically: NAD D 3020 V2) and pairing it with KEFs, in order to downscale the size of the whole system. I live in a flat after all..

    Question New amplifier/system for a semi-newbie

    Question New amplifier/system for a semi-newbie

    Hello everyone, finally I've some bugdet to start building my personal Hi-Fi! Right now I've been listening through my father's system, a vintage Musical Fidelity B1 and two Mirage M-490, both CDs and vinyls.
