I would like to connect my Dac to a power amplifier for driving my desktop speakers which are B&W XT2 bookshelves.
The requirements are:
- SS stereo power amp only, no monoblocs or integrated, no tubes.
- Class AB or Class D rated at around 100Wpc.
- New, used or vintage are all fine.
- Preferably somewhere around €1000.
- No DIY.
- Definitely XLR input.
No what I came up with already was:
- Eximus S1, but too expensive for what I want at €2500.
- Marantz SM-11, same thing unless I find one used at a really great price.
- Rotel RB1552 or 1562, both fit the bill.
Any tips are welcome! :)
