Hello all,
I recently bought a pair of Monitor Audio BX2, and am currently testing a Yamaha AS500 amp with them. Though i'm really happy with the performance of the system (the BX2's are amazing), i have the same feeling of some other people here on the AS500. The detail is impressive, but it all sounds a bit "harsh" (excuse me if i use the wrong english word here), or "clinical". I have a almost constant tendency of wanting to turn down the trebble on the amp. Bass is (more then) ok, but there's really to much clarity up high. Don't get me wrong: the amp is very good value for the money, but maybe not for my taste of sound.
My question: any suggestions on a better amp for my taste? I read a suggestion here of the older NAD326, but maybe there are other tips you can give me?
