    Integrated amplifier for Wharfedale Diamond 12.2

    Based on many reviews and my preferences on the sounds, I pulled a trigger and ordered Cambridge Audio AXR100. Got it under 500 EUR and placed an order through a local store, so in case of some warranty, it would be much easier to manage. Now need to place some amazon order for the Wiim mini...
