Hi guys,havent upgraded for almost 7 months :eek: and for good reason, have been very happy wiv my modest lil set up. But like all hifi's, what was once special slowly becomes the norm and you start noticing the flaws that wernt there before... Now i believe the weakest link in my system is the amp, it is a great amp for the money but you do get what you pay for. As good as it is, there is definately room for improvement. Im looking for something with a vice like grip, the m53 are pretty big speakers and are quite tricky to control. The pm7200 isnt exactly a feeble amp but i would like to max the m53's out with something with abit more grunt. Will have about £800 MAX, wil consider second hand but for reliablilty and the opportunity to dem' id prefer brand new... Also, i do want pre outs(pm7200 dont have any!)so i can add a power amp at latter date. Heres a few i have considered Rotel RA1062 Cyrus 8 Marantz pm7200 Ki(maybe)... Exposure 3010 Musical fidelity X-150 Im looking for vice like grip and control, loads of slam,speed and punch bass wise,nothing too bright. Excitment is prefered to laid back refinement but not sooo exciting that it turns brash and harsh sounding... Might be too much to ask for at that price but the marantz does it pretty well so hopefull an amp costing 3 times more will excel even further at these qualities. :D Any suggestions welcome Ultra :)
