Hi, so glad I came upon this forum!
I'm currently using a base level Planar 1 and Proac Super Tablettes from around 1987. Amp is an old but functional Sony STR-AV570 receiver.
Once upon a time, I had a nicely tweaked Thorens TD160 through a Quad 33/405 and these very speakers, and I feel like the sound was kind of bigger, more nicely enveloping then.
So I'm wondering what more knowledgeable people might suggest for system improvement, and whether amplification is my weak link at the moment. I'm looking at cxa81 and at AVA stuff, budget probably $1000-2000, but I'm totally open to other suggestions... integrated, separate, phono... could slightly increase the budget if there's good reason.
Down the road, I will add a good cd player and internet radio source, but I have stuff that will do that for now; recommendations gratefully received though!
Thanks, Greg
