Hey there, I am thinking of jumping ship from my current Marantz 2220b to something with a bit more power behind it and I figured why not play around a little and try out something different.
I was lucky enough to receive a really wonderful setup from a family friend
Thorens td 125 mkii with a SME 3009 (improved) with an aurum classic cartridge from clear audio
Gram Amp 2 preamp
Celestion SL6S speakers
He had everything to spare except an amplifier which I went and researched myself last summer. I really fell in love with the 70's era gear and had a lot of fun deciding on and hunting down my current receiver but at the time didn't consider (or know more so) about just how power hungry those celestions are.
I have a budget of roughly $500 CAD to go with once I sell my current receiver and wanted to look for some suggestions that may pair nicely with what I have currently. I am definitely not against integrated amplifiers as I've found myself seldom listening to the radio.
Thanks for the help!
