I'm Andrew.
Hello from North Wales
Hi all. I'm Andy from Wrexham.
My current set up was put together for Home Cinema a few years ago.
I'm now looking to add a 2 channel set up on a budget using MA Bronze BR2s from the 5.1 kit. I'll be moving the BR1s from the rear to the front for a 2.1 + sub AV arrangement.
My first question is whether an old 2 channel integrated amp would be a worthwhile improvement over using the av receiver for 2 channel sound?
And how good are the new Class D T Amps like SMSL?

good to have you andy , you chose a good place to live
yes class d are very very popular now and well worth hearing
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Hi Andy,

Which part of Wrexham are you in? I'm in Acton. Do you ever go into Acton Gate Audio? The guys there are great.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the forum and looking forward to reading your contributions!
