Hello again.
Last time I wrote in 2016 I was bothering you about amplifier ands speakers.
I bought a Marantz PM 6005 and I find a bargain for a couple of new AE 103.
With their 8 ohm and 89dB I was thinking they could be "easy" speaker for the Marantz, but this was wrong from the beginning.
With an input of 170 Watts, AE was not coupling at all with Marantz speakers are too much thirsty of power.
The sound was bright toomuch, and the loudness control on the amp was too much "intrusive".
So I decided to sell the 6005.
This summer I took at a very low price (a couple of pints...) a vintage Nikko NA 890, cleaned it and made it workin.
I am now using my pc's HDD as a source (using the NAS in windows7 ) thru a Roku soundbridge streamer and one Fiio DAC.
At low volume I miss a lot of details, and on high volume the amp is almost annoying. High tones become harsh and it is not possible to listen to music but for a little time.
I tried the amp with another set of speakers from B&W and the sound was better.
Now I'd like to change the amp again looking for old Denon 900v or 1560, Rotel ra 985 or RC970/RB970 due to the power they can deliver.
Cambridge cx 60 could be an option.
Anyone can help me to make a decent pairing with those speakers or It is better I sell them and try another set (canton 496 were playing nice to me).
Thanks for your time
Gian Marco
