Went another direction. Purchased him a set of b&w 685's. He is set for many years of quality listening. Went and listened and he loved them. Will sell the MA's, and will start the search for what will run the 685's. I most likely will look at a good used NAD PE, Rotel Receiver, Maybe even one of the newer HK 3490. Good cables/wires and he should be set.
Rookie looking amp/receiver advice
I am attempting to put a decent "quality" system together for my son. I have about $500 left to spend. Currently have him a set of Monitor Audio BR2's for his mains. This will be his personal stereo for his dorm/room only for the next 4 years as he is headed to college in September.
I currently have BR2's hooked up to my old Yamaha RX-V495 receiver and an old Sony CD player. My question is would I see a big improvement in sound quality with a decent amp/receiver? Or is my Yamaha adequate?
My overall question is what direction would you take at this point with the money I have left to spend? Thanks in advance for your help!
