i had a belles aria (non sig model) and i agree it adds a dose of brightness in its presentation of the music... it is a bit cheaper than the kinki unit used (but not by much, a few hundred bucks) but i personally feel the kinki produces a more refined, sophisticated sound and has more sonic headroom than the aria, while delivering a similar forward-treble-with-somewhat-recessed-midrange kind of tonal balance that some systems can benefit from
Integrated amp for Proac D2
My first post here. I have some Proac D2s with the dome tweeter. I use an old NAIM Nait XS that I bought used many years ago to drive the speakers. I like the amp, but I am ready for something new. I know the topic of different Proac speakers and amps has been visited many times, but I would appreciate your input on a good match for my speakers. To start with, any thought on the new Cyrus integrated amps? The Marantz Model 30? I have a decent budget for the new amp - $2,5000 up to $5,000. Lower end is better, at least that is what my wife thinks. Thanks for your help.
