My Roksan Kandy LIII is broken so I need to replace it. My speakers are Monitor Audio RS5. I listen to soft rock & singer/song writer type music so something that handles vocals really well is very detailed and shines at quite low volume levels is required. I used to have a Marantz PM6002, when I upgraded to the Kandy although I could tell that it was a far more competent amp I did feel that it lacked something in terms of intimacy and was a little restrained. I’ve compiled the following list of possible replacements, what do you think? It’s hard for me to audition due to a serious lack of shops! I'd like to spend s little as possible but don't wan't something terrible.
