I decided on purchasing the Rotel RA06SE. It's a stereo integrated amp, 70 watt, 0.3 THD etc etc
I paid 3600 UAE dirhams for it which is I think US$970. Great amp with those blue night lights for late night listening...well sometimes I wish I could turn off the lights, but they aren't really distracting. I don't require to turn up the volume a lot just a quarter is enough for I guess a small room with a 4-5 feet listening distance I think... is that too close...I don't have spealer stands so they are on the egde of my study desk(ex), as wide as the desk permits.
This amp has numerous ventilation slots on top so I'd be scared to sneeze in front of it.
I saw through the ventilation slots a neat lable with some pen made comments in small letters... gives that designer feeling or quality check concious manufactured device image. Its made in China BTW.
While listening to some music for the past few days I discovered that a soundstage is possible in the making, with more dedication.
Music is much more enjoyable, and the setup kind off pulls me into taking it seriously... this is a serious musical sound... it says either listen to me properly or don't. A good amp for those looking for beautiful looking, not so popular (unique) amps.
But the new system sound tells me which CDs are good sources and which are not... I guess maybe because of the extra attention to listening
Live music sounds excellent on this.
But I realised now that the M3 is now sadly.. not enough for a serious audiophile stereo system.... got to get M60s or 80s or some other tower for that, with the usual pre & pow combo. Didn't really realise it at the time.
I think I would sell my old BP6Bs and replace them with the M3s on stands or maybe reuse them as stereo spekers in the living room.
Boy do I have problems.
