Used Parasound HCA-1000 or 1500a amplifier Used Parasound P/LD1100 preamp and Dynaudio Emit M20 and what ever source you want. I think the UB5 was a good choice I bought a pair of B6 second hand when they first came out on eBay for $190 but just picked up an Immaculate pair of Tannoy Mercury MX2-m for $115 form the bay and in my room they sound identical. In this hobby I think it's more fun to have components gives it that old school feel to have a preamp and power amp makes set up fun and its cool to look at. Just my two Penny's cheers guys.
Help Me Choose (new) Bookshelf Speakers, and Integrated Amplifier for $1300 and under!
Hello Audiogon Community,
I would like to buy a pair of bookshelf speakers and an amplifier for a smallish living room, for $1300 or less.
My decision was Elac UB5 and Yamaha 701 amplifier. Is this the best decision??
Some notes... I do not need a dac! A phono stage would be nice, but I have a music hall mini. My turntable is Music Hall MMF 5.3 We listen to all music, mainly acoustic, classical and jazz. We prefer a neutral, accurate sound.
Thank you for your help and input!!!
