I have the following set up
Amp Yamaha Rx 797
Speakers B&W 683s
CD Yamaha S300 (bought this for the onboard DAC when listening to lossless tunes from Ipod)
Phono Project Audio Turntable
We listen to a really wide range of music classical, pop, rock, jazz,
I am really happy with the sound I have coming from the setup and if I am not happy listening to a track it probably has more to do with the recording quality of the track than anything else. writing this I am listening through pure direct to a chillout cd that sounds clean and full - really really nice.
I have the opportunity to get a perraux eloquence 150i integrated amp (http://www.perreaux.com/assets/file/perreaux_review_150i_integrated_amplifier_-_tone_audio_-_steve_guttenberg.pdf) at a very good price. I am told it would be an excellent match for the 683s and really make them purr with the increased current over the 797
This is really a case of what am I missing out on that would make me want to upgrade to a higher quality amp set up. would the perraux be a good option? what else should I be looking at as far as amps go.
My wife thinks I am ******** (her words
and thinks we should just stick with what we have and don't need to spend anymore money. .....But worst case scenario I can always get a new wife
