My wife bought me a Pro-Ject Debut III for Christmas (I've got a great wife). I had nothing that I could use to play it so I quickly bought a Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver (because it had a phono) and a pair of Polk Audio TSi200 Bookshelf Speakers from Amazon. Needless to say, I don't have a big budget. I'm getting to the 30 day point of return and decided I like the speakers but am not happy with the receiver (who knew a $160 receiver wouldn't be the sound of my dreams??). I've decided to spend a little more money on a amp and return the Onkyo and am down to three (unless you guys have a better solution).
The choices are:
Cambridge Audio Azur 350A for $449
Music Hall A15.2 for $499
or
Marantz PM5004 for $449
The reviews I can find seem to indicate the Music Hall is the better choice. What do you guys think?
