Balanced Audio Technology VK-300SE Integrated. These typically sell in the $1500-$2000 range. I've been using this model for 15 years and I highly recommend it. These have been around a while so check the serial number with BAT for a recent issue (my latest one is about six years old). Very musical, powerful, versatile, and has a sound that is both stable and "right". For best results, you must buy the "DR" 6H30 driver tubes ($600/pr) but this can be a future upgrade.
Looking to upgrade amp, need help.
I am currently looking to upgrade my amplifier. My current system is:
Focal 836v's
NAD C375Bee
NAD C546 cd player
Project debut carbon with Ortofon 2m bronze
I listen to both vinyl and CD's. Mostly classic rock but also a wide variety of music at times.
My budget is $1500-$2000, probably purchase used to get more bang for my buck. I don't have a preference between SS or tubes, but don't have experience with tubes (but think they would be a good match for the Focals).
Any input is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Joel
