Highend, in the case of having walked you through all the easy, cheap solutions, I love my Luxman, amazing extension at both ends of the spectrum with a sweet sweet midrange.
Suggestions...amp or preamp?
Hi all, I have been debating whether to upgrade my amp or preamp. Right now I have a BK ST1400 amp and a Rotel RC-970BX with my DIY speakers. The speakers are comprised of Dayton audio drivers and are rated at 100w/ch at 8 ohms with efficiency of 88db. My sound pretty good but I know I can improve in some aspects, more so in the bass department. I would like to stick with solid state but is not limited to. My budget is around $1200 for an amp and my be a preamp. What are your suggestions? I listen mostly rock and country. Thanks

Since you mention you mostly want bass, here’s something I wrote on the subject: https://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2020/04/how-to-not-buy-subwoofer.html However, since you are a DIY’er too, we should discuss changing your crossover as you can ttrade off efficiency for bass in there. Look carefully at your room acoustics first though, that’s in the blog post. |
