this is a strange question to ask IMO. Would you marry a girl that you've never seen and talk to ? Then , why buy an AMP that you've never listen to ? I've sold many amps in my life and as much as I hated the Yamaha amp, some people would just buy these amps. We had some high grade stuff, like B&O, Mission, Quad, ( mostly British stuff) but to please the crowd we had to sell those damn Yamaha. So who can tell you that you would like this type of amp instead of another one. Shopping is a great pass time, so go listen to what they have and make your choice based on what your ears will tell you. My 2 cents.
Amp upgrade advice
I am looking to upgrade the amplifiers in 2 of my systems and could really use some advice from experience audiophiles. I’ve laid out the current systems in my office and kitchen below. I am happy with the pre-amps and speakers in both rooms. They are both augmented by subwoofers. I am interested in upgrading the Amps. I’ve listed the amps I currently have. I’m planning to sell thee current Adcom’s to fund upgrades with a few extra dollars. My research is pointing me to the B&K Reference 125.2 amp. Both rooms are smaller with smaller speakers so I am thinking quality Amps rated at 125 W should be plenty.
