Soix,

i recently added front wide speakers so i will use existing Rotel amps for this new channel. This opens a vacancy for my front mains , i enjoy the system but have felt for a while that my main speakers are being underserved by the Rotel 1595.

 

I’ve personally been eying the new Strarkrimson amps from Orchard Audio. Although a bit hyped lately, a few with whom I’ve communicated say they’re legitimately powerful and wonderful sounding:
