Hi all. Need some help. Recently bought pair of MA GR20. Was looking for S6 or RS6 but Gold ones was very good bargain. But after reading internet about them I realised that my Denon AVR 3801 is not good enough to drive them. And I think about upgrading in amp area of my system. My funds are limited at the moment to 400-500 pounds. I understand that for this budget Iwill not get all what GR20 are capable for but may be its still be better than what I have now. Or not much? I see these options at the moment:
1. Buy vintage power amp (Quad 606, Linn LK140 etc) and use Denon as pre for now then may be buy matching pre.
2. Buy newer power amp like Arcam P35, Nad C270/272, use Denon as pre.
3. Buy integrated/AV like Nad C370/372, Arcam AV350 etc
4. Sell GR20 and buy silver series.
My problem is that I am not much experienced in this and do not have a chance to audition any of these options before buying.
I would be greatfull for any advice and suggestion of other amps suitable for my situation.
