New amplifier for hi-fi setup
Hello everyone,
I’m posting here because I’m looking for advice from an English-speaking audio community, and I hope you can help me with the following question.
I received an older hi-fi system from my family. Unfortunately, the amplifier stopped working last month, so I’m currently looking for a suitable replacement.
About the setup:
- Old amplifier: Harman/Kardon HK6650
- CD player: Harman/Kardon HD7425
- Tuner: Harman/Kardon TU9400
- Turntable: Sony PS-LX150H
- Speakers: 2x Cantius ML V
I’ve done a bit of research on which amplifiers might be suitable and came across the following options:
- Denon PMA-900HNE
- Yamaha A-S301
I’d like to use the setup to listen to music via my phone/Bluetooth and occasionally play vinyl records.
In terms of budget, I’d be willing to pay for the Denon if the price difference compared to the Yamaha is justified—but that would already be at the upper limit of what I’d like to spend.
Are there any alternatives you would recommend? Or which one would you choose?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Best regards,
Woerns
