Hello

[Stereoholic]

Hello, I am Remco and I live in the Netherlands. I have little money, but once (about 25 years ago) I had the money to buy HiFi. HiFi I learned to appreciate when visiting a HiFi fair; I was blown away by the sound I heard there! :) Since then, I had a longing to own such a system myself.

So, having the money, I bought my first set which consisted of a Marantz PM82 class A amplifier with a set of B&W 803's. Though both of quality, the speakers didn't match very well both with the power of my amplifier and the size of my accomodation. I played the set 25 years though. ;)

Becoming aware that my set wasn't optimal, I decided to buy another one last year, consisting of a Primare A30.1 amplifier and a set of Epos Epic 2 speakers, and Atlas and Triple M kabling. A totally different sound than the Marantz/B&W combination which, if properly matched, can sound very good too.

I was charmed by the sound of Primare I once heard, so that was the reason I bought the amplifier.

I like all kinds of music, but not hardrock nor gospel. Pop has my first interest, followed by blues, smooth jazz, funk, electro and a little classical.

Thanks for letting me be part of this forum, music lovers! :)

Hi Remco , the Primare is a great amp. I am a lover of the smooth jazz also :cool:

Welcome to AoS Remco,

Yes Primare made some good gear, which not only sounded good but had great styling as well. If you can manage it, we would love to see some photos of your system

You have a commendably wide range of music that you enjoy.

Enjoy the Forum

Regards
Barry
