Hi All,
I have 5.1 setup MA BX6 fronts and center, Surround back - BR2, Marantz SR6007. I am more than happy with my setup for Movies but for Music not satisfied(there is no power, punch) and i listen at high volumes and on SR6007 doesn't sound very good(60-75) there is no distortion/noise but music doesn't sound too appealing. My Sony GR555 stereo use to sound better than this. Now going to build system in different order with separates
1. Stereo Power Amp + SR6007 preout
2. Preamp + CD/DAC
3. Speakers
At present i am only looking for Power Amp and have been searching for last 2-3 week and came across many amps. There are some factors to consider so i am listing them below, if anyone knows of an amp that meets all of them please do let me know.
I have looked at many and liked A21 but its around $2450
I don't live in US and I don't have the option to audition as not many brands are available here. Can't import used as well(that is what i really wanted).
Requirement
1. Price would prefer around $1500
2. Heat sinks should be outside like Parasound A21
3. Around 200W output at 8Ohms
4. Operates in Class A for first 10 watts
5. Caps should be away from heat sink
6. Odyssey is not an option.
Thankyou all.
