Amp for Elac UB5 Bookshelf

[denzong]

HI All,
This is purely for Stereo and Vinyls. Digital or Bluetooth doesn't matter to me. I have a separate system for that.
Posting after a very very long time. I am buying the Elac UB5's bookshelf speakers and want to buy an integrated amp for these power-hungry speakers. I know for a fact that if the amp power is not supplied to the performance would not be optimal.
I think the best suited would be 150W and 4Ohms.
I have the following amps in mind, however, I am open to other suggestions as well. (I am open to speaker suggestions as well but so far I found these the best)

1. Yamaha AS 201/501
2. Onkyo A 9110/9130
3. Denon PMA 600/800NE

Thanks and stay safe.

I would recommend the Denon from that list for the Elac BS you are buying. Since you are based in Mumbai you could also look at the excellent Norge MOSFET Reference 2000 Stereo Amplifier & Norge Phono Pre-Amp for playing vinyl.

I agree but all may not be in my area, plus I am not sure about how they would be and getting repaired here is super expensive

Thanks. They are in Berlin. Bit far for me. Plus their range is pretty high

I thought the Berlin wall was broken in 1992

The 800ne does 85w at 4 ohm..

I am also leaning towards it

I am also leaning towards it

I was meaning to say it might not be enough juice

Audition is desirable though..

Then what are the choices? Only Yamaha seems to have more juice

Which is why I was leaning to vintage

Sure, I do not have issues. But whats the thought about Yamaha?

I am also getting a new Marantz PM 6006 at a good price. Any views on that?

 

[denzong]

Another offer is Dali Spektor 1. The pair is just for 79€

That plus a marantz 6006 might work IMO

Is the Marantz a UK edition ?
