Hi,
I'm a bit new to this lark and I am looking to get an amp and speakers setup for my living room. I've settled on the MX1s due to their recent award win and the fact that what I get is going to have to be positioned quite close to the wall due to my room layout - fussy positioning is something these don't seem to be phased by. I ruled out the Q Acoustic 2020s on for this reason. My budget is reasonably limited hence settling on a set of £150 speakers and not something more expensive.
I can't seem to find anything recommending an amp to match the MX1s - would either the Yamaha A-S500 or Marantz PM6003 suit, or are they a bit overkill? The Marantz is set as a match to the Q A 2020s so perhaps not... I would also be running the Chord Company Carnival Silver Screen cables as they come so highly recommended.
I was looking at some of the Cambride Audio amps, but they all seem to be a bit bright, which is not recommended with the Missions. The A-S500 also seems to be a little on the bright side, so is this also one to avoid?
Are there any highly recommended amps a little further down the price range that might be better suited to these speakers?
As I say, just starting out on all this, so any plain advice would go down a treat.
Cheers!
