Hi everyone, I'm in need of some advice so any comments/opinions would be a great help.
I've been doing abit of hunting around in the second hand market to build a second system and have come across a Arcam Alpha One CDP & Alpha Five Plus Amplifier in mint condition with remote controls for £65.00 deliverd for the pair. The seller has also got a pair of Kef Coda 9 floorstanding speakers going for £30.00
Are the CD Player and Amplifier any good and would i be best to get the Kef speakers as well or a papir of Acoustic Energy ae109's that i also had my eye on. Also would the Arcam system be a good upgrade to my current budget sony set up and do you think it would struggle to run my Wharfedale's which are 6ohms and rated at 125watts. My current Sony amp is rated at 100 watt per channel into 8ohms but seems to struggle abit with the wharfedales and was woundering if the Arcam Alpha 5+ may do a better job even though the power rating per cahnnel is lower than the Sony amp.
Any help would be great as i have got to let the seller know by tomorrow morning latest that i want the Arcam CDP & Amp as he has got other people intrested.
Thanks
