Hi all! I will soon be taking delivery of my Vantages and I am waiting with great excitement and anticipation of hearing these things in my home! I am currently trying to figure out what amplifier to use. There are so many out there, the selection process is a bit overwhelming. I am building a 5.1 system around the Vantages and will probably use it 50/50 music and movies.
With that in mind, I am looking for a nice 2 channel amp to get me started and something that I can hold onto for dedicated 2 channel listening, or easily sell/build upon for home theater. My budget is a bit tight right now so I am looking to buy used so I can afford a higher quality piece. That said, I would also rather invest my money in a better 2 channel amp than a lesser 5 channel. Right now I have absolutely nothing to drive the Vantages with except a HK receiver, which I plan to use as a Pre-Pro.
I am looking for something that costs about $1000-$1500 whether New or Used. I’ve been looking on AudioGon and came across the following deals that might work
Cary Audio Cinema 2, $1200
SimAudio Moon W-3, $1400
Sunfire Cinema Grand, $1450
I am also looking at NEW Parasound A23/A21, Anthem A2, and NAD.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I have been a visitor on this forum for 2 years. I value your opinions and advice greatly.
