Upgrade to AMP to Onkyo A 9010

BS Dave · Monday at 15:57

Ive got a pair of Elac debut 2.0 5.2 speakers and am currently driivng them with my 31 year old sherwood AX4050R amp. I think it sounds good (I have a Fiio K11 R2R and a crappy DVD player as a transport), but there's an Onkyo 9010 on sale locally which i'm tempted by.

Do you think it's worth the upgrade? The Onkyo's a little over £100

Never mind - someone else bought it!!

After 31 years it's likely the Sherwoods capacitors need replacing anyway. So I'd be looking at a new amp.

i did have it serviced by some guys at work, it had a buzz which they fixed. It's OK, but I have to bypass the treble bass and balance knobs as they introduce some problems on the right speaker...maybe I'll email the guy, he's really local so if it falls through...
