Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
I'm looking for an amp to use in a secondary setup to drive KEF LS50s. Source is Oppo 95 balanced output. I'm currently using a Proceed Amp 2 that sounds pretty damn good with those speakers. I suspect the A21 is sonically superior, the MC 2205 flashier with its meters. Any thoughts or recommendations?
