Upgrade Amp

[da_grudge]

Hello all. My system is composed by MA RS6 , Arcam AVR 350, Oppo 981 and DacMagic 2.

I would like to upgrade my amp, using this one for movies and buy a dedicated stereo amp.

I listen a lot to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, a lot of Jazz and Classical Music. I would like to get a little more detailed and transparent sound than I have now.

I really can´t spend much money on the amp, so I thought to buy something second hand on ebay.

What do you recommend for making good match with my speakers and the dacmagic?

My budget would go to 200 pounds, but of course that sometimes you find expensive amps for really cheap in ebay, that´s what I am looking.

Thank you

If you can find one then I'd say go for a NAD C352 integrated or an Arcam Alpha 9 or 10 integrated.

Having owned the same speakers and listening so similar music I'd say they'd all do a very good job.

has the 350 pre outs? are you going to use the rs6s with both the homecinema and stereo amps if so why not just buy a power amp?

Get an older Cyrus amp. Many of the later ones have an AV bypass option which sets volume automatically when using AV
