am looking to upgrade my Marantz PM7003, not because i need to, just want to try something further up the ladder.
having recently bought a Rega P8 and Aria phono stage, i want to get the best out of it.
part of me wants to stick with Rega for choice of amp, but open to others. (ie Roksan K3 or Caspian)
my obvious choice would be the Elex-r, but i have seen the next model up, the Elicit-r available for not much more money on the used market.
my problem is, i use nearfield monitors (Dynaudio M10) so will never push an amp of this calibre.
so i know this is massive overkill, but are there any drawbacks to doing this other than the obvious overspend (which i can live with)?
looking only at used market, so i can move it on if things dont work out without losing too much.
