I just switch from a HK 2.1 amp to a Anthem Intergrated 2. And that is the best 500 money can buy! You night want to try a hybrid intergrated amo like INT2, which has a tube preamp and SS amp all in one.
Amplifier Dilemma
Hey guys I need some advice on which amp to buy.
I plan to spend up to $800, I prefer an integrated amp (which are very few in my price range) but if a raw power amp gives better sound then I will go with a power amp.
My aim is more for sound quality than quantity. The problem with my system is that it is way too dark, its like listening to music with a blanket over the speakers, I am pretty sure is the amplifiers fault. I am thinking of buying one of these:
Aragon 4004 or 8002
Classe CA 101
McCormack DNA 0.5
BELLES 150A HOTROD
Odyssey Stratos
Pathos Classic One
New Conrad Johnson Sonographe SA-250
There are so many to chose from, help me make a decision.
