Hi
I have a Technics SE-CH570 amplifier - manual here: Technics se-ch570 Manuals | ManualsLib
I upgraded the speakers a year ago to a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze BX2s, which I got off ebay for around £120. It made a big difference to the sound quality so was very happy with them.
I'm now wondering whether it's worth upgrading the amp (which, as I've kept the old speakers, would mean I have a spare hifi set for my spare room as well). But I'm unsure how much money to spend in order to make a tangible difference to the amp quality, or on the other hand whether spending too much is not worth it for the difference it'd make to the speaker quality..
I spoke to Richer Sounds about amps on sale now, and they said the Audiolab 600A would work well. I'm sure it would, but my instinct is that it's a lot to spend in proportion to the speaker cost, so I might be able to pay a lot less (including second hand) and get similar results.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
