Amp

[ianb]

Best intergrated amplifier around £500-£600 to power a pair of Q acoustics 3050i's in a mid sized room

Best?

 

[Al ears]

What inputs do you need in said a amplifier, I mean what will your music sources be?
More information required before a choice of amps can be offered I feel, nobody here can tell you what's best just offer options.

You asked the same question recently. More than enough good suggestions

Amp?

Mmm... at 2x23 watts into 8 ohms not sure it'll be powerful enough to drive the QAs to their full potential.

I know I sound like a broken record but ...

Your budget is 50 quid short of an Audiolab 6000A or Cyrus ONE Cast.

Both very able.

And neither having the connections the OP needs.....

2 tape inputs? Really? Can't you just use aux for a tape deck?

 

[robdmarsh]

Anyway, for a completely biased subjective recommendation, the Denon pma 800ne (I think it has enough inputs). I recommend what I know and enjoy.

Not if you need a tape loop.....

again it doesn't have a tape loop if that is what the OP means by two tape inputs (one is an output)
Not many modern amps have this feature.....

why two tape inputs? Do you mean a tape loop?

Luckily the forum itself didn’t crash, so all the answers are here for you to see with another device.

Not sure I've ever seen a modern amp with 2 tape inputs.

Yes, your ideal would be severely limiting your amp choice.
Shame, as there are some potential bargains - such as a Rotel RA-11 Tribute, currently at £399.

Presumably you need to do tape to tape dubbing in one or both directions?

 

[plastic penguin]

The only amp I can remember with 2 tape inputs, I could be wrong, was a rubbish brand my mate owned, that was Sherwood. It was horrible, more wooley than a field full of sheep. Even my old 1970s built Pioneer would laugh in its face.

Otherwise I'm struggling to think of a domestic amp with 2 tape inputs.

Me too,a tape loop is a different matter but even that is rare now.
Perhaps OP will return at some point to clarify exact requirements.
until then we are all making pointless suggestions
