Spec me an amp!

Street · 9 Jul 2007 at 10:29

I've got a pair of B&W DM602 S3s and I'm after a new amp to drive them as I'm currently using a very old Pioneer amp. My budget is about £150 but might be able to stretch further if needs be..

Any advice is welcome!

Cheers,
Andy

are you ok to go second hand? Rotel RA-02 and NAD 320 would be two models i would try and get a listen of.

For that budget to do the speakers justice your going to have to go second hand you could pick up a nice arcam alpha 8 for that money.

I'm not too worried about going second hand, the speakers were originally second hand and they have worked perfectly for me since!

I'll have a scout round the bay for some of those amps..

Can't seem to find any Rotel RA-02s, but are the RA-04s good?

I went for the RA-04, second hand but only a couple months old.. Can't wait to get it now!
