Hi everyone. First time poster here!
I recently got a pair of RP-5000f (rated 100W RMS 8ohm, 96dB sensitivity) and I am looking for building the rest of the system (budget around 300€)
As source, I have:
I am in doubt about getting an AVR (and benefit of eARC and future expansion to 3.1/5.1) or a stereo amp (main focus is music on a 2.0/2.1 system). In other words, is a stereo amp (with or without integrated DAC) potentially giving better quality when compared to average AVR, at same budget?
I excluded solutions as Loxjie A30, Denon pma 50, DRA-100, WXA-50 etc that I see do not offer enough power to pilot the speakers
For reference, looking around at stores/used market around, I could see:
Any helpful advice or recommendations would be very much appreciated!

As source, I have:
- turntable
- stream via BT/Airplay
- TV (ARC/eARC or Toslink)
- Computer (USB/Toslink, worst case via TV ?)

For reference, looking around at stores/used market around, I could see:
- Stereo amp: a Denon PM6007, but also (overbudget) Yamaha A-S501, H/K Citation Amp
- AVR: Sony STR DN1080, DN1060 - DR590, Yamaha RX-S601D , R-N402D, Marantz NR 1602
Any helpful advice or recommendations would be very much appreciated!
