System: Bluesound Node 2i - Denafrips Ares II 12th- Exposure 3010S2 -PMC Twenty5 22i


Fancy a integrated upgrade, budget 2-3K, room size 6x4m. Any recommendations, maybe Naim- which one, Hegel???

If you like Exposure, demo the new 3510. Or you could look at Roksan Blak. Too many good choices in your price range. The trick is to demo as many amps as your nerves can stand 😉

NAIM potentially is marmite, Hegel is a excellent choice, consider also the Caspian 4G Integrated Amplifier. 2-3K is a lot of bread, try to get an audition or if you know a dealership that has a generous returns policy.

Hi,

I will also vote for Exposure 3510 integrated, if you like their housesound. Or Rega Aethos, simple analogue but extraordinary capable amplifier. Roksan Blak will be I think also very good option. Especialy when there is new generation of Roksan Caspian just arriving with better sound, build, ergonomy, design...and higher price🥲. But Blak could be later available with some nice price discount. Than it is a champion of this Premiere League.😆

Hellooo

I quite like Roksans. Certainly worth demoing whatever model takes the OPs fancy aesthetically. I would avoid Rega given their quality control issues, but sound wise they could fit the bill.

I still favour Leema Tucana MK2 (not anniversary edition). It's a fantastic sounding amp, I still regret selling mine.

Agreed. This is why I suggested that a change of speaker might be a better option.
Concur. Speakers can be bettered than his current PMCs. As with amps, there's a shed load of worthy alternatives.

My money would be either on Harbeth P3 or Amphion Argon 1. Loved both these when I home demoed. It's about the OP getting the right balance, hi-fi yin and yang.

Yep, when you have an amplifier of a certain quality some people would be hard pressed to notice any audible difference if replaced by a slightly dearer amp. Biggest improvement will come through the speakers.
