hello everyone, first post on here...
I've had a rotel 06 series amplifier combination for about 2 years - I didn't know when I bought them if they were particularly good, just fancied a power/pre basis for my system as I'd only had technics/jvc things before. I bought them from my local shop in canterbury as they were a bit of a bargain, but I was just wondering if they are a good/bad model in this price range? Maybe someone could tell me if they have any particular characteristics, that could be improved upon? I guess as ive got more into the technical side of music Ive become less satisfied with playing my collection on any old thing!
I recently upgraded my speakers to a pair of KEF iQ7s, which I am really happy with. I have a Rotel 971 CD player which is good, but tends to skip a bit - so I'll probably upgrade that, possibly to a Rega Apollo, when I can afford one!!! I'm just getting my dads old Goldring record player, which should be ace too...
Back to the amp situation though, what makes the most difference to the sound from the speakers? The control amp or the power bit? Could I just upgrade the power section, because the RC 06 unit has all the things I need on it? Any suggestions, or should I just stick with it?
Sorry for the long post, haha!
