Afternoon all, this is my first post so please be gentle.
Ive been a music/hifi fan all my adult life and my most recent purchases have bee Tannoy mercury V4's, CA SR10 and now an arcam AVR200 off of ebay. I absolutely loved the SR10 but wanted something a bit higher up the ladder so went for the AVR200 on the advice they were great in there day for music. After a month with it i do love it but i just cant handle knowing it was pre owned so its now getting sold. So.... i was looking through WHF mag and saw i could get the CA 651A at a special WHF price of £349, ive always admired this amp and went for it and im picking it up friday as im waiting for a silver one. Anyway im sure it will sound great with my Tannoys but im wondering would i be able to partner this amp with say a £1k speaker!?
I recently auditioned the Dali Ikon 6, Tannoy DC6T SE, CA Aero6 & MA silver 6 , as in the new year i will have £1K to spend on speakers that i hope to keep forever. MY ears told me the Dali's were the speaker ive always dreamed of but my question to you guys is....is a £1k pair of dali's to good (for want of a better word) for a £450 rrp amp?
