Arcam A80 Owners - Please Help

hi there, just purchased the a80 myself and have them hooked up to a pair of monitor audio gs10's. Initial impressions, very good. The slightly warm sound of the amp works well with the medal dome tweeters of the monitor audio's. I strongly suggest using quality interconnects & cabling to bring out the best of the amp. I tried an audiolab 8000s prior to this amp and way too clinical for the speakers. Another speaker I would recommend would be the quad 12l, should be able too pick them up for a good price at the moment (very detailed but not as full sounding as the gs 10's) hope this helps

if your arcam is as i remember arcam being (slightly warm, laid back), then I suspect the monitor audio gs10 would be a nice combo. Just a few hours ago, i auditioned a pair of Quad 12l w/ my sugden amp (a48b). The quads were not broken in, but i suspect that even after they open up, theyou would not sound as open as the Monitor Audio GS20's i heard immediately thereafter.

If the GS10 by monitor audio has the same sonic character, i suspect it would match up well w/ your amp - better than the Quads.
