Looking for a second amplifier to swap into my system which has more power than my Heed Obelisk Mk2.
I really enjoy the Heed driving my Rega RX3’s which it seems to do effortlessly even though it’s only I think a 35watt amp into 8ohms, I think my RX3s are a 6ohm speaker and appear to be easily driven.
However I also have a pair of Reference 3A Dulcet which I think could benefit from some additional power to optimise their performance.
I do like swapping equipment in my system, but since I sold my Naim 150x and 122x I only use the Heed.
Having read some reviews and feedback, the Exposure 2010S at 75 Watts into 8ohm is an option, it appears though that Exposure no longer have the 2010S2D as part their current range, so it would have to be used or ex demo.
The alternatives I’ve considered are Rega Elicit R, Hegel H90 or Naim XS2.
I use an LP12 for vinyl and a Naim CD5X for cd, I have a Heed Questar phono stage. I prefer a neutral to rich sound with good midrange as opposed to a bright sounding system.
I would keep the Heed but would like to sleep out the amplifier in my system from time to time.
Any recommendations apart from the ones mentioned please ?
