    rega rp1 - q acoustics 2020i - which amp?

    Thanks for the advice. Think the wobble is probably normal (it's hardly noticeable compared to youtube videos). My list is down to the following now: -Arcam a65 plus -Onkyo 9030 -Pioneer A30 (can't find any reviews/much about this amp?) -Denon 720ae (possibly the 520, it's quite cheap, but...

    rega rp1 - q acoustics 2020i - which amp?

    Hi all, Asked a while ago for amplifier advice, but I now know which turntable & speakers I will be using. Got around £150-200 left for an amplifier. Have found a cheap arcam a65 plus, which i'm very tempted to try out. Was also looking at rotel sa-04, but they seem few and far between on...

    Need help generate a basic system.

    I'm interested to know if people think the cambridge audio amps would work well with q acoustics 2020i?

    Amplifier ideas? secondhand?

    Probably going to run a rega rp1, q acoustics 2020i and looking at an arcam a65+, very new to this, but are there any obvious concerns with this setup? Thank you all, Sam

    Amplifier ideas? secondhand?

    like the look of the 3020i actually. as i'm starting out, if i could help it i'd rather spend £50 than £200 on an amp. it's quite easy to get carried away and go from spending £500 on a system to £900.

    Amplifier ideas? secondhand?

    Hi All, Have decided on rega rp1 as my starter turntable. Probably going to pair up with q acoustics 2020i speakers. Really have no idea about an amplifier though, had a look at a couple of Rotel RA-04/SE's on ebay, but not 100% sure this would be a good idea. Budget is probably £200 for amp...

    Do I need an amplifier? or TT > preamp > speakers OK?

    Thanks all. So the Q Acoustics 2020i are not powered/active speakers? Looks like i'll need to start looking for an amp then. Budget was about £600 for the whole system really, which leaves me around £200 for the amp. Any ideas?

    Do I need an amplifier? or TT > preamp > speakers OK?

    the link i posted seems to be saying if the speakers are active/powered i won't need an amp as such, is this not true?
