Hi,
have a pair of second hand Tannoy DC6T SE arriving soon having done a audition at Richer Sounds earlier this year. Thought they sounded so much more controlled and engaging than the Ikon's, MA's and standard DC6T that I heard, however at the audition they were paired with the Arcam FMJ A19. At home they will be driven by my aged but well loved Arcam Alpha 3. Ultimately I know i'll need to upgrade it but funds are tight so wondered what would a good second hand bargain that would not just be a short term solution. Perhaps even allow bi-amping later on.
Music tastes are varied from Orbital & Portishead through 80's stuff such as Police, Kate Bush and Cure to early Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. Listening room is 5 x 4 m.
Was keeping an eye out for a used Roksan Kandy K1 Mkiii or Caspian Mk1, or an Arcam A85 as these often seem pretty good value and have heard they work well with the Tannoys.
Can anyone recommend between these or am I missing anything ... perhaps Audiolab or Naim maybe? Obviously will try to test first but appreciate your opinions.
Thanks
