I bought a pair of DBR62s a few weeks back and I'm very pleased, but I'm running them from a 25wpc amp that needs to be replaced.
Must have features I'm looking for are, in order of priority:
- Ideally $500 or less
- at least 50wpc (the DBR62s are rated at 4 ohms, 125wpc max)
- low distortion (but not necessarily require support for hi-res audio, I've done blind AB and I personally can't hear the difference between hi-res and CD)
Nice to haves are, also in order of priority:
- Bluetooth/aptx compatible
- Airplay compatible
- wifi streaming
- phono preamp
I'm considering:
Cambridge Audio AXR85
Denon DRA-800H
Yamaha WXA-50
I looked at the Yamaha A501 and R-n602 but they are a bit more expensive (and the Yamaha requires an optional adapter for bluetooth).
Any thoughts? Other options I should consider?
