I do actually own the NAD C658 which is a really good streamer/dac pre-amp and had considered that option.

I was wondering that too,

I was looking at the Accuphase 800 which looks great but way out of my price range at 15k

But think of the future, that just gives you another excuse to go and spend some more money and upgrade because, as we all know, the perfect system has not been invented 😁

I must admit I have heard very good things about Accuphase, perhaps I will go and audition one.

Well actually that wasn’t the question because I wasn’t looking for recommendations, I was just interested to know what people are spending their money on but fairs fair 😁, the reason I am buying that particular amp is because I have had a Yamaha A-S1100 for a few years and I absolutely love it...

Hi Guys, I am not looking for recommendations, just subjective opinions. I am about to spend £5,000 on a Yamaha A-S3200. If you were about to spend £5k on an amp which amp would you go for and why and what speakers would you partner it with?

Hi Stereoman, did you eventually upgrade to the AS1100? The reason I ask is that I have owned one for about a year now and I absolutely love it, what a beast of an amp. If you don’t own one yet then go and buy one tomorrow :0)

Hi Guys, a bit of your assistance is required, I have a Rega P3-24 going to a Yamaha AS 1100 amp. I want to get some standmount speakers and would appreciate your recommendations. I have a budget of up to £1200. Thanks in advance.
