BEST AMP FOR WHARFEDALE 9.1 SPEAKERS AND PROJECT TURNTABLE
Hello all,
Just looking for some pointers in the right direction for a new amp. I have just bought some Wharfedale 9.1 speakers and Qed silver anniversary XT cable to go with my Project Esprit turntable (Ortofon Alpha cartridge). I will be using it for vinyl mainly so a decent phono stage is a must. My budget is around £300. Been thinking about the Marantz pm6003 or the Rotel Ra 04se. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on either of these as a pairing?...or even any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

...nad amps work well with budget Wharfedale
yep id 2nd that, my nad 326 sound slovely with my wharfdales and project debut 3 
Thanks for your input.
Was thinking about the nad but due to me having to spend a bit extra on a phono stage made a less likely choice.
Can get the marantz pm6003 for around £250 i think.
Anyone have any experience with that amps phono stage?
Cheers.
Your budget of £300 should allow you to get the NAD 326 new from somewhere like RicherSounds and a good phono amp like the basic Pro-ject. I have this combimation and it's a great sounding budget system.
