Hello friends,
I am new to hifi, so need everyone's help.
I wanted to buy a budget system for our study *** music room.
I have a pair of 902i's and CA 540C v2 CD player (got as a gift a couple of months back).
I had short listed some amps (based completely on reviews) :
1. Marantz PM6002 - have read a lot of nice reviews. Also got the best buy award in it's class.
2. CA 540A v2 - had heard a CA amp + CD with 904i at a friend's place & quite liked it. But have read that it might be bright with the 902i. Has anyone heard this combo? I'll then also end up matching the CA amp with the CD player (already have the CD player). Also it is the most powerful of the lot & has a pre-out - might want to connect a subwoofer later for movies.
3. NAD 325BEE - very nice review but my better half doesn't like the looks so might be impossible to get (you know how difficult it is.....
)
4. Rotel - 04 - a bit out of budget and also doesn't have a remote. So not that interested.
So, i guess now the fight is between the PM6002 & 540A v2. Which one will you guys suggest considering that the source will be a CA?
Thank you.
