Evening all; having recently having a car boot acquired Lenco GL75 refurbished to replace my first gen Project Debut, I'm thinking it's probably time to replace my Arcam Alpha 5 and Eltac floorstanders (a distress purchase when the Missions I bought with the Arcam failed 15 years ago).
I've been happy with the sound but realise the GL75 warrants better support. Where do I start though; at the level of the current Arcam base amp ( SA10 at around £700) or will cheaper amps provide a better sound than my Alpha 5 after 25 years of development?
Not looking for a specific recommendation but interested to hear your views as to what price point I need to start at.
Will be looking to replace amp and speakers at the same time, and then look to replace my Sony CDP XE330 later.
I realise that budget is everything and I'll go to around £1200+ if that's where I need to start, but if I can look at a lower price point I can buy more music!
Welcome your thoughts/experiences.
