Labtec makes some very good points. I will disagree with #1, however. For $1k +/-, you can get a BAT VK3i if you shop carefully. This mates very well with the DNA 0.5 and can even keep up with the SMc mods up through Rev B. Not until I got to A+ did I feel the need to upgrade my pre, at which point I went to a Supratek.
Aragon, Plinius, or McCormack
Hi all. I am looking at picking up an amp and pre to drive my Infinity Overture 2 speakers (which will hopefully turn into Thiel 2.3's by the end of 2004). I'm looking at a Plinius 8150 integrated, or McCormack DNA.5 or an Aragon in the 1k-$1500 range used.
Does anyone have any advice on which would be best looking down the road at the Thiels? Also, what preamp (under 1k) would you recommend mating with these?
Thanks for the help.
