Hi - I want to know are there any realistic alternatives to my current set-up/ room constraints without having to spend a lot more money.
I have iRdac into Nad 356Bee amp with BW 685 S2 and 686 S2 speakers.
My Nad has 2 speaker outputs. sometimes I use both together for background music/Tv and other times I just use the one pair for listing to music/TV. I want to keep this two channel output set-up.
My budget is theoretical at this moment but I think it's going to be around £1500 for amplification and then later more funds for better channel A speakers. Was thinking of kef R300s.
The thing is, most rated amps I am seeing in reviews/on forums don't have a speaker A and B output and also I should add it needs to have both A and B control on the remote. Unless I am looking at the Rotel 1592 which is nearly £2K.
I have already posted about the fact that, for now, I am stuck with book shelf speakers and I am looking into making small stands. Additionally the room is not optimal for bass and as you can see I can't get too far back off the walls.. So with these constraints is there a viable alternative? I assume a good £1500 1 channel stereo amp with a sub out which I connected a power amp to would not work as a make shift zone 2? And a Av amp would not better my current set up for sound quality?
Picture of my set up attached.
Any help appreciated as always
