Dear all,
thanks a lot for your suggestions so far, very helpful. Pass, Bryston and Plinius are unfortunately quite expensive here in Germany, even used they are normally beyond the budget, the basic integrateds starting at >3.000€.
I'd however have the chance to get a Belles Soloist 1 at a good price, for 1200€ used or 1600€ as a demo. I suppose that is the Belles company marqmike and carmenc are suggesting. Do you know the Soloist, would it be a good partner for the Contours? And is the company Belles still existing? In Germany, I could not find any Belles dealer.
Best,
Fritz
