Need a Used Integrated Stereo Amp

Hi,

I own a Denon AV Receiver 2807 and a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 70. I have kept away my Sub Polk SW125, Center Speaker Polk CS2, and 2 towers (Celesta from Torvin) in a pack for time being and using only the Monitor70 to listen to music. I am very much interested in the mid and high frequency response of the speaker with high level of seperation.

I am planning to buy Denon PMA1500AE. Is it worth buying a stereo amp? will it give any significant improvement over my Denon 2807? Is any other Amp like Yamaha give more clear high frequency response than PMA1500AE?

I live in Chennai. Anybody have a used PMA1500AE or above for sale?

Contact me 9940139972.
Siva

Siva:

The Denon 1500AE is an excellent amp, more musical and involving. I auditioned 1500AE with the corresponding cdp and KEF IQ7, excellent combo IMO, but little bit expensive on the whole. It will be beat Yamaha hands down mate for a 2-channel . And yeah, 1500AE is far better for music that your 2807.

Vinod,
Thanks for the reply. I hear lot about this Norge 2060. How good is it compared to the 1500AE? Do you have any idea? Sometimes I am thinking of going for a search in Ritche Street for good assembled SDK amp. Bit confused b'case of my taste for the sharp treble.

Thanks
Siva

Hello siva

You can also try marantz , Nad , Rotel .They are IMO better then the denon ,
The Ritchie street purchase ---- think 10 times or even 100 times before buying there. I had some bitter experience in the past.
You can buy a decent stereo amp for 20 K - new one.

tharun.

Re: Need a Used Integrated Stereo Amp

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I may need something that pumps more power since my speakers are capable of 250Watts.

Is it still with you? What are the speakers you connected to it? Where do u live in Chennai?

Thanks
Siva

Re: Need a Used Integrated Stereo Amp

The Marantz PM17 is more than capable of driving the Monitor 70s
Actually the PM17 is probably overkill for them

anyway, I live in Velachery
I have that PM17 listed in the classifieds section, so let me know if you are seriously interested

Dear Siva,
The Mrantz pm-17 is a fer better amp than any denon stereo amplifier. The reference series from Marantz is developed specially for music. Go for it.
