Ive got a NAD C320BEE amp with Monitor Audio BX5 speakers played with a squeezebox mainly. I do have a turntable and cd player but they are used probably 10% of the time as the squeezebox is much easier.
Ive been thinking of changing the amp as the bass on it sometimes gets too much. I love the sound of it on slower music, acoustic, slow tempo electronic etc... but with faster rock/indie music i feel it loses some of the higher treble notes in the bass signal.
Been trying to read up on some amps that may improve this, i dont want to lose the clarity on slower music but is it possible to gain a little faster, more gutsy amp for rock music at the same time?
Budget is probably £250 max so im probably looking at the 2nd hand market. I was wondering about peoples opinions on an arcam 9 or 10, some of the rotel range or if possible a rega? Although i notice that the Monitor Audio A100 is now half price at £199, would that be a good match for their own speakers?
Would they be reasonable ones to think about? or any other options? Only real stipulation is it must have a remote
