    Default Help finding a stereo amp to pair with Mordaunt Short 902i's

    Hi, this is my first post. Looking for a little help.

    I've recently acquired a pair of Mordaunt Short Avant 902i speakers and am looking for a good used amp to pair them with. I'm a noob with a budget of up to £120ish.

    From Google research I've found that the MS speakers are particularly bright and not so strong on bass, and so recommended amps are warm. That makes sense to me. I'm considering trying to get hold of a NAD C326BEE after seeing numerous tips as to this being a strong amp for these speakers, but am kinda wary since almost all posts and info I can find on the Mordaunt Shorts are from around the time of the speakers' release over ten years ago.

    My question then is this... is the NAD still a good recommended amp, or would I be able to find a more suitable, or at least more modern, device for around the same price point of under £150? Or should I just go with what I know is a good pair get the NAD C326BEE?

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Regards
    AC

    Hi,

    My vinyl player is an old Trio, so Kenwood appeals to me as that one served me well for a number of years. I appreciate that it's much cheaper, but how does it compare to the NAD listed above?

    From what year is your Kenwood btw?
