Hello, my config is based on a Cambridge 851N plugged on a Marantz PM6005 and a pair of Tannoy Revolution XT6F.
I like the sound produced (detailled, a touch of warmth) but i think it could be better.
I would like advices based on experiences for an upgrade of the Marantz to reach another step up in my config.
I hesitate between several choices like :
- plugging directly the 851N to a power amp (using the 851N as a pre) like maybe the 851W,
- a 851A (i am afraid of a lost of warmth compared to my actual system),
- an Hegel H80 (idem afraid of a lost in warmth),
- a Rega Elex-R (i'm afraid of a potential bass lack),
- or maybe a Naim ?
...
What would be your advices of pairing with my existing config ?
Is the step up with one of the listed amps above worth the price coming from the PM6005?
Thanks !
