Hi kaushik

What amp, source component/s and cabling are you using?

What do you generally listen to?

Are there any facailities such as tone controls, headphone socket, etc. which you would like the amplifier to feature?

The size of your room?

Your general listening level?

Budget?

What type of presentation are you looking from the new amp and for the system to reproduce?

All the best

Hi kaushik

Thanks for your reply.

I take it that the SA7001 & 683's are to replace your current system. If so, then I'll recommend that you use your Quad per/power as these amplifiers should match well with the SA7001/683 and also suit the genre of music that you listen to.

All the best

Thanks for your advice. But I need a separate system for separate Flat. Then what kind of  amp you advice with my SA7001 and 683.

RE: B & W 683 Speaker matching Amp

You existing system is very good. May I ask what your budget is? I used to own the Marantz PM7001 and it was quite a decent amp, however I thought that pairing the two together might result in overall slow pace on the system (which to me, is quite a signature on Marantz)

Moon I-1 and above the line should sound nice as well. I had the I.5 for a while and though it is not a very powerfull amp, it worked quite well with my then Spendor SA-1.
