Amp for £150.00?
Tue, Sep 11 2007, 5:00PM
I am looking for a new amp for my bedroom as i have just redecorated. I have been looking at the Marantz PM4001 and the Cambridge Audio AZUR 340a as i can only afford to spend £150.00 at the moment. Could anybody please tell me which of these bargain amplifiers would be best to use with my Monitor Audio BR2 speakers and QED Silver Anniversary XT Bi-wire speaker cable (My music source is an XBOX 360 elite). Thank you
Don't know about the Azur 340A, but the Marantz PM4001 is excellent and we gave it 5 stars, so I would highly recommend it. It will work well with the BR2 speakers, although, in truth, your XBox 360 won't match a dedicated CD player for music replay. It might be worth saving up for a dedicated CD player in due course.
