Help on a new av amp

[simplybochup]

Hi Bros

 

I am currently planning to upgrade my amp from the yamaha rx 440.  If I hava  budget of about 500-600 for the amp, which would you recommend.

I am currently using a couple of floor standers for the front r and l and they are 100w.  I presume that I will need an amp with enough juice to drive it.

Is a pioneer amp recommended? Or should I get the marantz or denon?  Any model to recommend?

Any advice will be good.

Thanks in advance for responding...

Welcome bro

I hope you are not bochap like your nickname, and search this forum for info :)

A bit more info would help, room size, music tastes and music/HT mix.

Thanks Bro

will certainly check it out.

I am using the system in my living room of a 4 room flat which is basically a square( not quite sure the size) :D

Using it basically for Ht as I have a separate system for audio in my room.

Need an amp which can drive my floor standers actually.

Is pioneer a good investment or should I stick to the marantz and denon?

Tonal matching, different amps go well with different speakers, so you need to audition.

Each amp has their sonic signature.
