Hi All,
I'm currently thinking of changing my current amplifier (Yaqin MC100 customised) for a new one.
My budget is around 1000-1500€
My speakers are B&W 683 (90db)
I am currently hesitating of which amplifier I should get for my budget.
Tube or Transistor?
And Which model?
Any advices ?

To be honest I think I would hold on to the amp and think about changing the speakers......

Why changing my speakers ??? :(
They're only 3months old and for the money, I won't get any better
Actually I double checked, they re not the 684 but the B&W 683

Check out the speakers at the bottom of the page.
seem to be well reviewed. reasonable sensitivity/flat impedence curve.

humm I'm not a big fan of bookshelf.
I might go this weekend to Cloney and see if I can try some amps with my speakers...
