Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
New member here. Long time audiophile. My integrated amp has suffered a tragic end. Its been many years since I shopped for or researched amps.My taste in music is pretty specific: well-recorded live rock and roll. For example: "Hell Freezes Over" by The Eagles, "Live in Gdansk" by David Gilmour, etc.. I don't need the volume to go to 11, but (naturally) I want it to sound great.
My speakers are Martin-Logan Motion 60XT. 2 channel listening only. 14x14 listening room (home office). I have an external Peachtree Audio DAC.
My budget is up to $1500 +/- new or used. If I go used - how "old" can I safely go? I have never had a tube amp - should I consider this, or stay solid-state? Thanks for your advice and recommendations!
