These are my main speakers. I was driving them with a class A integrated Music Hall Mambo. The Mambo works but not without its issues so I was thinking about changing up. Now admittedly I know very little about playback. So With the above specs for my speakers and lets say sub 2k budget. Can you recommend some amps ? or maybe even amps and pre etc.
Also when looking to match speakers and amps what specs should i be paying attention to ? I admit I should know this stuff and im embarrassed to admit it but better to come clean and learn something than continue to nod like I get it.
