IMHO, if you want to spend money on upgrade it should not be an amplifier. MH has plenty of punch and it is neutral, so I would look into speakers. Everything else in your system is maximized to the point of significantly diminished returns.
Looking for an alternative to Music Hall a70.2
Hello,
I am playing with the idea of replacing my Music Hall a70.2 Integrated Amplifier, with an alternative. Here's my setup currently -> Oppo BD-93 Blu-ray player -> PS Audio DAC III -> Music Hall a70.2 Int Amp (via XLR input) -> Tannoy Prestige Turnberry speakers (via Kimber 8TC speaker cables). The speakers sit about 11ft from the seating area and are about 7ft apart. My listening room is 'open' (14ft W x 10ft H) and opens up into the dining and kitchen area
I've had this system for over a year now, and I am quite satisfied with the sound but am wondering if there are any better 'alternatives' out there. I use my setup for movies and music (50/50). For music, I listen to all kinds, especially vocal jazz and some electronica. I am willing to pay up to $3000 for an alternative to the Music Hall. I see good reviews for the NAD M3. Will it be considerably better than the MH? Any other options?
Thanks,
