Best ampli match for MA siver 8S

Best mHiahtcah for Monitor Audio Silver 8s

 

[Beppep]

Well, something went wrong with my previous message..

can you please suggest me which ampli can properly match a new set of Monitor Audio silver8?
I listened them with Naim Superuniti 2 and the sound was really good, however the price is very high for that Ampli. I was thinking to buy a separate Pioneer to do DAC conversion and streaming, connected to separate ampli. I have to replace my Yamaha RN500 that I dont think is the idea match for these speakers.

Possibly - Arcam, Electrocompaniet, Sugden, Pathos, Musical Fidelity, Rega, Peachtree, Croft and Audio Analogue.

....maybe start with the Arcam A39.

well it's a salad of Amplifiers, what is the best match with MA?

Unfortunately, the one that you think sounds best. To ask someone elses ears decide is as useful as simply sticking a pin on a donkey....you need to listen to them.

I highlighted Arcam, but you are not listening with my ears.

 

[Beppep]

yes, that's a good advise. I listen them with Superuniti 2 and the sound was very good. Based on caratherists of the speakers and the Ampli, I would like to have an ampli with a warm sound, so I think that Cambridge is not a good choise. A part of Arcam, is a Rotel 12 enough to pilot them?

Hi Beppep

My favourite overall Silver Series speaker and i found Silver 8's to also pair well Naim's Nait XS2 and Hegel's H80.

All the best

All my suggestions are the opposide of clincal sounding, with the Rega Elicit R probably being the most forward sounding of the group...and Pathos (Hybrid) the least.

I don't want to spend a fortune, let say that I have to replace my Yamaha RN500 so I want an improvement but to stay under 1000£. I heard some people with good opinions on Primare i22 and MA, then I found as well Rotel 12 that is affordable.What about a Naim on second hand, are the two/three years model good? I am thinking on separate Dac as Pioneer so if there is DAC internall or not is the same.
