Hi all
First time poster asking for advice here and I should say that I am not really a hi fi buff. The new amplifier decision came about because I am not happy with music through my AV system. I had a Marantz AV SR6003
which I loved even for music. This however developed a fault and I replaced
it with a yamaha RXV 1065. This is brilliant on films, better than the
Marantz, but not on music. It hurts a little that the new amplifier is not
as nice sounding on music and therefore I have decided to buy a new Hi Fi
amp. The 1065 has pre outs so I believe I will be able to integrate it ok?
The rest of my system if this list merits the term is Tannoy Front speakers
(M2's I think), Kef Surround speakers (eggs 2005's ?), REL Quake sub bass,
I have an old Sony CD player but actually found sound better on my more expensive DVD
player (pioneer 656A). I am therefore looking to buy a new amplifier and can spend about £300. I am considering the Yamaha AS 500,the Marantz PM 6003, the Rotel RA-04 SE and the Rega Brio 3. There is a Rega brio 3 available second hand locally and I could afford this and upgrade my speakers to the Dali lektor 2's available at RS for £200 at the moment which seem to be well thought of. Would these be a good match or should I wait to hear the other amps and put off the speakers to a later date. Any advice please
