Got a divorce last year and bought a smaller house for my self...I had one spare bedroom with a nice slanted ceiling. I bought a nice leather recliner from lazyboy and started rebuilding a nice small room system...
I kept some stuff I had, and dumped some....
this is what I have now....
Sansui AU417..mint cond.
Paradigm S3E speakers
Rotel 965BX LE CD player
Onkyo DX 1800 CD player
Marantz PRO CD recorder
Grado head phones...
I have a Rotel RC 970 BX pre amp coming monday..and I will give it a try into the Sansui. but thinking about a new amp..like a class A Yamaha, or a Onkyo..or even a Rotel.
I like the fact I can still have loudness & alittle added power amp EQ on the sansui..?
I use the Onkyo CD player on the older Cd's as it smooths the bad recordings out..the Rotel shows the bad recordings way to much...but on newer Cd's its the bomb.
I stopped useing my Tube DAC, as it was very ear fatigueing in my small room.
and I sold my OHM model L speakers and moved the JBL Riva's, to my TV in the living room....This small room loves just the Paradigms....
Any suggestions......I dont know anything about power amps ...I was allways a Intergrated amp guy...
I love stereo gear, allways was a audio nut..but money is allways a factor.
I sold off my Turntable & all my vinyl, and went pure CD's...with my tube DAC its very very close if I want it to be, but I find the Rotel is fine for all the newer Cd's...
I did bi amp my old Riva's and the sound was more open, but again became ear fatigueing..so the paradigms are not bi amped...
On amps...some tube models can be had...? I dont know anything about them...and Class A...? yamaha.........thanks...corky
