I am considering buying a pair of second hand Atohm GT1-DV Special Edition. I heard them in the shop connected to a Naim Uniti Atom and it sounded fantastic. A lot of detail, nice bass and a fabulous sound stage. My budget is around £1500. The speakers cost £800 (New £2000). I am now looking to find a good matching integrated amp. After a lot of searches, I am considering Roksan K3 Integrated Amplifier. I found a second hand around £850 (New £1300). As I will not be able to test these together, I need your advice. Do you think these are a good match? Do you have any other considerations or objections about each of these? What do you think? This will be my first serious audio system. I have the Rega P2 turntable upgraded with Rega Exact Cartridge and a small RPi4 Streamer with Allo Dac (using Spotify Connect). I am more of a Jazz, Classical listener. I am not going too loud. The living room where these will sit is very average size, not very big. Originally I was convinced to buy a pair of Kef LS50 Meta with Musical Fidelity M2si integrated amp. I am now less convinced about that choice.
