Arcam FMJ A18 and MonitorAudio RX6

[admin_exported]

hello everyone!

I wonder what those who know this world of hifi what they think the combination of AMP fmj A18 with the monitor audio rx6.

has anyone heard them personally?

will be able to get the best perfomance of them?

the 50w power will be sufficient to make the speakers to "sing" without problems?

the
reader is perhaps the CDP17, but will be open to other suggestions that
your view and experience have a better synergy and results.

Thank you all in advance.

The A18 is very good amp if you have long listening sessions. Otherwise, if you're looking for an instant impact amp go for one of the other suggestions on your other threads, like Rotel, Nad or high end Arcam, maybe.

The A18 will drive the RXs fine, and a good 50 watts is fine withem. You could also look at the Rotel RA06se (or RA1520), Rega Mira 3, and Naim Nait 5i.

To get the most from the RX6's, I'd say amplifier around the £1,000 mark will do a better job, something like the Primare i21 or Arcam A28. If you can stretch to it, the Naim Nait XS is well worth trying out.

.....Or a Leema Pulse

Wasn't overly impressed with the Leema I heard, not for the money anyway. It was good, but the Naim Nait XS was as good, and cheaper.

Thought they both retailed around the 1,200 mark?

The A18 is £595

Joking apart, look at Roksan Kandy as a minimum and then explore Naim, Rotels, Nads. As David mentioned, although the Arc is good for the money (and will power the RX6's, unless you live in a converted barn), but to maximize the MA's look at Rotel and Roksan as a starting point.

The LIII would be first on my list, then K2. Not heard MKIII, so can't comment.

I loved the Monitor Audio rx6 with the Marantz pm8003, is not very expensive too.
