Or it could be titled best amp for NS1000's .
My amp / speaker combo has been settled for a while , its a Yamaha AS-2100 into NS1000's ( domestic version ) and it sounds great and does everything I need but I am getting an itch to try a different amp ( I know I'm doomed to a lifetime of box swapping :-) ) .
I have previously tried a valve amp ( Luxman SQ38S ) and whilst it had its plus points it wasn't best suited the the NS1000's , it was a very low NFB design which I think contributed to it struggling with the bass . Also a vintage Yamaha C4/M4 pre power combo which was uber fast , dynamic and detailed but lacked colour and texture . The AS-2100 sits somewhere in the middle .
If the V(irtually) U(seless) meters on the AS-2100 are to be believed my listening is all done with less than one watt so there should be plenty of options .
So what do you think folks , can you help me compile a list for a bit of internet research , new or old it doesn't matter .
