New system

[Made in 1968]

Looking into building a decent priced file base system for the living room to raplace the old junk, pretty much for low level listening at evening which is the only real time i get to listen.. Its pretty much an Amp & speakers i now require, i have all else. Now the top coice for me at the mo is the Onkyo 'A9010' Anyone heard one?

The UK version is said to be good, though I havnt used one, actually I think that's the 9110

I have one.
It sounds very good indeed with kef 104/2 and kef coda 3.

I am very impressed.
I got mine for £200 from amazon.de.
I wanted silver and the A9010 with the dac.
The A9110 has no dac.

Used prices make it a steal.

Negatives.
Doesn't accept banana plugs.
Remote lightweight like a child's toy. But works well.

Ah right well i dont want the DAC inputs so it will have to be the 'A9110' then. No worries with the remote i never ever use them they usually stay in the box..

Only other option is i have a pair of Active monitors i bought last year. Im only going to be using a single line level input & no headphones on this system. Maybe just a passive pre amp would suffice but i dont like the majority of em..

Grab a used BlueSound Node2 of eBay, and there's no need for a pre with your actives. The Node has volume +/- and the usual play/pause etc on the top. the Node will do NAS, Computer, + Internet radio and Spotify etc, also has USB, AUX and optical in + a sub out.

Pick up a proart amp. Get a new one for 50 notes. Really quite decent amps. I have 4. 2 in use and 2 spares. I use mine as power mono amps but can be used in stereo with flick of button.
Don't let the price fool you they are well made and would originally cost a fair bit

I agree with Grant.

The Proarts sound bloody amazing for the money. They are professional amps and the cooling fan can be slightly intrusive at close quarters, but there's an easy cure for that. Can be used as a single input integrated amp if needed as there's a volume control.
