Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some advices regarding my next purchase. I'm looking to buy an amp to compare the sound with my A&R a60 on my mission 751s. I play high res files from my computer for now, still not too sure if I'll go cd or records in the future. As I have time and I'm very interested to compare, I think it could be the right time soon.
I've done some research, I know more of less what I want and have done a selection that is is my budget. here it is:
-Sansui au2200 or au217
-Pioneer a400 or a300 ( and sa5300 or same generation?)
-Marantz pm66 or 6010, Probably not ki in my budget
-Rotel 820 or 840 but it comes last in my list
Now I know some are older than others, so the condition will define my choice. We can split them is two different era I know, 70s and 90s. I've found two Sansuis on ebay now that have been recaped and are in my budget (Ideally no more than 150£), I got to say I always wanted to listen to an old Sansui but the Pioneer are interesting too as the a400/300 are from the same era than my speakers.
I would like to hear what you think of the above, if you have any experience with any of these and if you think the Sansui would be a good match with the Missions.
Thanks a lot in advance
