Hello all.
I have an upgrade craving driven by a desire to dust off my vinyl and get a turntable!
I have a pair of Tannoy Revolution Signature DC6Ts in my 5.1 AV setup and have decided to improve my stereo sound by adding a dedicated integrated stereo amp to the AV receiver's Pre Outs.
As there is a degree of flexibility in my budget I have decided to get the best possible amp for my speakers. Then, in a few months I'll audition for the right turntable.
I currently have on 'loan' a Rega Brio amp which is lovely but I'm wandering if I can get more from my speakers.
My current AV receiver is a Pioneer SC-LX81, It has good stereo sound but I'm sure the speakers can take better. I'm open to other suggestions but the key thing here is to get all I can out of my speakers and find the perfect pairing.
Amps that I have shortlisted for audition are:
Am I right to go for the AV to integrated via pre outs option rather than adding either a pre- or power-amp to the AV receiver?
So, budget aside, I'd be grateful for your thoughts and suggestions.
Many thanks.
CF
