Hey guys,
I am currently using a budget Sony integrated amplifier (TA-FE370) to drive a pair of Monitor Audio BX-2s in my recording studio.
The audio interface I use on this particular PC is an M-Audio Firewire Solo (one can only assume the DAC is good on it).
I'm pretty much sold on the Rega Brio-R (from the glowing reviews and price). However, I cannot help but think I am going to miss the hardware EQ which most integrated amplifiers come with. Would the Rotel A-10 be a better bet or is it quite a step down in terms of sonic quality?
Any thoughts on this?
Cheers!
