Hi,
I have Wharfedate 9.2 and driving them from Onkyo AVR 5105. For better SQ I plan to buy a stereo amp.
I listen mostly to soft-rock and Pop of 80's and 90's (Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Santana, Bee Gees etc) and Hindi songs from A.R Rahman, Himesh, Pritam etc.
In my present setup I like the bass extension provided by 9.2, and the laid-back sound. But I am looking for more detail and punch in mids and highs (which the AVR is probably not providing to 9.2... I am using a LG DVD player digital out as source)
1. Please suggest suitable Stereo amp in 25k budget.
2. How will NAD 325, Marantz PM7001, CA 640 V2 and likes will fare with 9.2?
3. Has anybody auditioned Norge 1000 in comparison to above NAD/Marantz/CA ? If yes does the extra bucks for these amps justify the cost increase... I mean is the SQ twice as good! (Norge 1000 retails for 9.5 k approx)
Thanks in advance,
