I believe you are the right path upgrading your amplifier for the X12s. I have heard and truly like them. At a budget of 'up to 2K' you can do much better than the Yammy 801 in my opinion.
What sources are you using?
What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12?
Hi! In your view, what integrated amp would make my X12 sing? I like the Brio but was told and know that my speakers will benefit a lot from a more powerful, newer amp. What would the candidates be?
Rega Elex, Cambridge CXa81, Hegel H95? Nad, Roksan, Yamaha? What else? What kind of power do I need? Any thoughts??
