Ideas for a 150w 2ch amp. $400- $500 max, not rich next logical step? Added some AC Infinity fans over top of my 2006 Marantz sr 7002, 110w, Large ELCO, NOT a Trodial transformer.
Is that ELCO transformer bad news? didn't realize, hell It was a $1200, 8ch receiver I paid new 2006.
Maybe a 2ch from my pre-outs just for fronts, I have ok stand-mounters "old big" stand mount B&W 602s3, and a center from England, not China and new Klipsch RP600m's "got a deal an underpriced speaker" and a 10in downward sub/carpet floor couple small corner bass traps, 12ga. wires, medium size room for now. Want towers when can afford, dust settles to many choices, not enough money.
Am comparing Spotify 320kb vs Dezzer 320kb $10. a mo. HDMI 1.3a" should be ok" on the receiver from a new Roku ultra. Also, have a Windows desktop via a 25ft optical and a good old Macbook SSD via "micro watcha McCall it" to RCA. Spectrum 200 Mbps down tested.
Next logical step with what I have.
Am I looking in the wrong direction???
Cram a DAC up it's somewhere in between, in front of, or behind it's, lol? Crown XLS 1002, 215w at 8ohm- $339?
