Pre amp for Anthem 225


Looking at going with the gen 2 Anthem mca 225.  Need a pre amp to mate with. The STR pre is more than what I want to spend. Looking at the new Rotel 1590 mkii.  Any advice?  Thank you all for your help.

I would choose a preamplifier very carefully. Typically I would spend more on a preamp than an amp. It really determines the overall quality and tone of the music you hear. I would choose a preamp first, then an amp.

 

I have been choosing and upgrading my system for nearly fifty years. You can see my current system by clicking on my ID. 

I would review this:

 

 

 

Also review recommended products in Stereophile.

 

You might also consider the Rotel RB-1590. I use one and it is excellent.

The Rotel RC-1590 MKII would be an excellent choice, wilchech.
