hi all,
i have been surfing the net, reading many forums (incl this one) and also auditioning many brands and have shortlisted Cambridge Audio 540a v2 based on the features it offers compared to its price.
i would like to know your advice / views / opinions on Cambridge Audio 540a v2:
1. compared to nad, marantz, rotel, c.a. azur series offers more power, features, etc for the same price. eg nad 325 BEE (50wpc) is for 23.5k and c.a. 540a v2 (60wpc) is for 18k. does c.a. actually give better bang for buck?
2. i have heard that cambridge audio is a little laid back amp with warm tone. so you need bright speakers with it. is it true?
3. i have heard that there are more quality issues with c.a. when compared to brands like nad. existing users of c.a. pl advise if this is true.
4. of the 3, which is the best one according to you all:
- cambridge audio 540a v2
- nad 325 BEE
- marantz pm 7001
its a tough task selecting a good long time lasting amp when u are new to this field. thanks in advance for your help
cheers,
vilfy
