Hello. My amp has suffered a terminal event and so I need a new one. System is Hitachi FT5500mkii receiver; Cambridge Azur 640C CD player; QED R232 deck with Nagaoka MP-11 boron; Aiwa R650 cassette deck that never get used! Until this morning this was linked via a 1984 Yamaha A300 amp to a pair of Diamond 7.2 speakers. Now I need a new amp - any recommendations? Unfortunately due to the lack of planning for this my budget is around the 300pound mark. For this, I see Yamaha A-S501, Cambridge Azur 651 (no phono i/p), Marantz 6005, and a myriad of others. I have no idea what to look for these days as I have been pretty happy with my existing setup and just replaced items as they died (hence the Azur 640C) . Music ranges from Meatloaf to Mahler via Bellowhead and 'Radio 2'.
Thanks,
Allan.
