hii its the first time im writing on this forum i havent been into hi-fi since years but while i was in college i owned an amp called cosmic (wonder if any of u heard of them), it was just fantastic, speakers from cosmic as well they were one of the only companies from india producing amplifiers.
anyway now im looking for a new system altogether mainly for audio, but being on a tight budget i would like ur opinion for an amp/receiver for a pair of b & w book shelf 685. i came across 3 choices -
1) the marantz receiver sr4021 - im getting this for 100 usdollars a one year used one obviously.
2) the marantz mcr503 - 460 us dollars
3) the marantz pm6004 - i was told by the dealer it is soon going to be released for 400 usd but i dont see this price online anywhere any idea?
being on a budget with a big ambition of owning a great quality sound system if i buy just an amp i would have to buy the cd player with tuner as well for which im constrained to spending a lot for. would the mcr503 be great for th 685's? or is it really worth waiting and investing in a 6004? what would be your long term plan to building a system? will the 4021 be good enough for the 685? i am going to consider adding more speakers and a sub later on as well.
would be great to hear from you.
thanks a lot!
