Just paid for a pair of MA Silver 10 speakers, getting them next week
With these speakers I now need a new amp as the current one is probably not powerful enough (monitor audio airstream a100). Demo'd the speakers with Marantz, Arcam & Cyrus, of which I liked the sound of Marantz and Arcam but don't really have strong preference for a particular brand. I prefer slightly warmer sound and generally tend to listen to music at low to medium volumes. Music will be mixed but mostly classical/jazz type.
If you have these speakers what amp are you using?
Some of the amps I'm considering are - Marantz PM 8005 (£649), Arcam A19 (£649 - though not sure if this is powerful enough and I need to consider higher models which cost 1k+). Am also open to second hand and someone has offered me a Marantz PM 15ns1 for around 650 as well (can't seem to find somewhere to demo it. The seller has offered to demo them with B&W speakers).
Since most of the music will be played via streaming I also need to budget for something like a network streamer or Arcam irDAC/rblink, hence would ideally like to keep the amp under 1K.
Any suggestions/views gratefully received.
