Hi guys

my current AV setup consists of

Technics SA-DX930 (basically an old 5.1 DD surround receiver)
SL-PG570A CD player
Mission 773es as A speakers
Mission 70s as B speakers
REL Q100E

Am i right in thinking the weak point of this setup is the amp? im only using stereo so no need for any 5.1 shizzle. the cd player isnt fantastic but its fine for now

has anyone got any recommendations for a decent stereo amp? willing to spend about £150 but it must have

Inbuilt phono stage
A and B speaker outputs

ideally want to get something second hand cos i reckon i could get something a lot better than spending £150 new

any advice guys?
 
i need 2 sets of speakers, one set are either side of my monitor the others are either side of my bed

i only use 1 at a time, hardly ever both :)

cyrus stuff sounds good, like to keep the manufacturers local :D

been looking at the 8000A which looks pretty nice too

ideally i would want to be able to upgrade to the manufacturers CD player etc at a later date

Mr_S said a Linn Majik, don't think you will get one for £150..... But the model before it, which was designed/released to take on the Audiolab 8000A, and similar in appearance being full width is the INTEK..... has great phono board, even has 2 speakers connection, one switched....... AND will give a 8000A a good kicking !!!! ;) :D
Plus there is one on auction if you want to "look" at a picture etc.....
We use to use one in the small demo room with a £600 Arcam 70.3 CD player and various speakers, very tight clean sound, a little on the dry side, but nice and Tuneful. ..... Can add a matching Powertek power amp if you like in the future.

found it :)

i will need to do a bit more research and justify whether or not i can spend this money which i should really be saving :p
 
right i have had interest in my old amp and a few bits, so its looking like i'll be getting a stereo amp

the audiolab 8000A still looks like the best bet, i listen to a lot of dance music so how well is the audiolab suited to that?
