Yes, it's amplifier time for a fair few people at the moment... Question is... what? I want something big, strong, bowel-looseningly powerful, that is punchy, quick, detailed and insightful. It must groove significantly. From present research I've got a couple of contenders: Bel Canto eVo (200.2, 2, 2i, 200.4 or 4 (same thing) are all possibilities) Simaudio (Celeste i-5080 perhaps? i-3 and i-5 seem to be a bit too expensive) What else? I was looking at the parasound HALO A23, but if it doesn't do life as I've heard, perhaps not... Either a decent power amp or an integrated is what I'm after.
