I listen to a fairly wide range, including some electronic with complex bass, eg Mice Parade, but nothing as heavy as drum and bass. I think the bass is fantastic - detailed and fast, but the PMCs are not in your face exciting....

A very big thank you to Colin North at IQ Speakers for persuading me to buy the Abrahamsen V2 amp. It is amazing - and, for the money, an extraordinary sound: so clear, detailed, and agile. I am very happy. Had a few problems with a loose connector board, but Colin helped me sort that our...

Hi I've connected up the amp, but it doesn't sound right - it's really muffled.... Any ideas? Thanks Serife

Just out of curiosity, how come Abrahamsen is so much cheaper than Electrocompaniet? I read that Abrahamsen was set up by one of the founders of Electrocompaniet when it went bust. But Electrocompaniet is back in business now?

I'm in London, so Cheltenham and Edinburgh a bit of a trek, but I am tempted by the Abrahamsen. I'd just prefer to listen to it first. In the meantime, I'm keeping an eye on Ebay for all the other suggestions made here. Thanks again for all the tips..

Trouble is, if I start auditioning I know I'm going to end up spending £1500-£2000 which I can't afford to do right now, and I don't know where I'd be able to hear older Cyrus/Naim amps - or even the Abrahamsen. It's probably a very bad approach, but I was hoping to spend a few hundred and get...

Thanks to you all for the suggestions. My plan was to buy something as a stop gap, but I may reconsider. One last question, what about Arcam? There's are a couple of FMJ A32s and an A28 on Ebay that look like they might go quite cheap. I had been planning to listen to the FMJ A39 on the...

Thanks. The Abrahamsen looks good, and am wondering how it compares to the Musical Fidelity M3si? There's a new M3si on Ebay for £800. I guess I am hoping to get away with spending around £500 or less - sorry for not specifying. This is my first excursion into the worl of Hi Fi forums...

Thanks, though judging by the retail price, even second hand, sadly this is likely to be beyond my budget..

Just bought a pair of ex-demo PMC twenty 23s, which are proving - unsurprisingly - too much for my Marantz 6004. Varies with type of music/quality of recording, but sound is quite woolly, especially the bass. Am looking for advice on buying a second hand amp off ebay to tide me over until I can...
