£500 amp and speaker system

[admin_exported]

Hello,

I have a budget of £500 to put a used amp and 2 speaker system together.

I am looking for a simple, clean and punchy sound. Volume is not as important.

I want to plug a computer into it for music as most of my music is already computerised. The computer sound card I will sort out when I buy the computer later on.

I have always admired my Dads' Rotel RA-400 amp and Rotel speakers. Via another forum the Naim Nait 3 was also suggested along with some Epos or Neat speakers, if I can find them within budget. Although maybe B&W 601 will be a bit cheaper. But I would really prefer some non ported speakers I think, as it is the tightness and depth I am looking for.

However, I am still a little undecided so thought I would see if any one has any alternates.

I must admit I like the Rotel sound as I think it is warm and lively enough for my ear, so something similar to them, hence the Naim suggestion.

Much appreciated,

Lee
