Dear FMs,
Just wanted to check if any of you are aware of any cheap AMPs capable of driving the Quad S1s cleanly? The specs are:
I definitely need BT and a pre-out so my other woofer can be added to that. This is a setup in office, so I do not need this to be an incredible setup, but it should be atleast above average. The source is going to be either my laptop BT or my FiiO M11 BT, both with APTX HD using Tidal.
This isn't my main system and do not want to spend a bucket load of money at all 30-35K tops. The vintage I am using with them, makes them kind of edgy and after using it with Audiolab, I realised what I have been missing. I was looking at the Denon 600NE; however with my experience with Denon I wasn't sure if they will sound well together, denon might make them a bit too sharp for my liking. If I am looking for a unicorn, just tell me so, I will forget about this for some time and live with it.
