Following my disappointing experience with Arcam's A29 amplifier recently (great when it works!) I've been rather put off the Arcam marque in terms of reliability. As the title suggests, I'm interested to hear anyone's experiences of good alternatives to Arcam's amplifier offerings that can be had at £1k and below. I'm looking for something that provides SQ similar to the balanced/detailed/smooth/slightly warm sound of Arcam, not something that's diametrically opposite (i.e. I want to avoid bright, analytical etc).
Not too bothered about digital inputs, an analogue amp will do. I'm currently using a Arcam A65 Plus (40wpc) with a pair of Tannoy XT6Fs (sensitivity 90dB), which are a winning combination in the medium sized space I use (up to 80dB at a listening position <3m from the speakers) so not really looking for anything over 100wpc.
I'm all ears to ideas!
