New amp and speakers, what to consider.
As much as I enjoy my valve amp/Audionote J set up, and I have loved it - with jazz and more 'paced' music, such as acoustic, I do miss what a solid state can do with more complex or congested music, such as rock. With there being an absolute plethora of amps and speakers around I'm not sure where to look, or if it even matters, won't any decent amp do for instance? Speaker wise there is more difference in sound, so just want something not sharp, but at the same time not too fluffy! Looking to spend about £500 on each, give or take a couple of hundred.
