Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |

Hi,
I just upgraded my speakers to B&W 802. I have two Marantz MA6100 monoblocks that worked great with my previous speakers, KEF 103.3. I now have the option to purchase a Proceed 2 (Levinson-designed) power amp at a reasonable price. I could also double up on the monoblocks for another $300. My upgrade budget is meager at $500-600. What would you do?
My current source is (gulp) a Yamaha RX-V1200 HT receiver, using the preamp outputs. Don't worry, that's next on my list of upgrades!

- I would think about what you'll spend to replace the receiver - G Squared 13:21:51 03/19/17 (3)
