I have an older Marantz MK11 that was used in a home theater that could be recycled as the pre/pro for this setup.
No, don't do that but do look at some high-powered integrated amps. You said you play loud, you'll need a big boy amp.
What amp for Goldenear Reference speakers?
Thought this would get more attention here from those with Goldenear speakers. If I am fortunate enough to get Reference speakers what amps are you guys using to drive these? I'm not buying that a receiver type amp will cut it. So what is recommended to drive these? I tend to listen to things on the louder side.....
