Re: Amp selection help required
Buy(or loan if possible) used amps and try out in your system. If it doesn't work then sell it off at minimal loss, or break-even.
Since you like low punchy bass, try to listen to the Krell KAV-300i with your speakers. If you still don't get the bass that you want, change your DIY speakers to those that go lower, or get yourself a sub.

Re: Amp selection help required
If within your budget, could consider the below amp. If you are planning to continue in this hobby (believe me you will, because it doesn't let you off easily once hooked), then the below choice would be able to withstand some further upgrades in future, more so then choices like the NAD 3020i, Pioneer A400 and other models mentioned above.

Re: Amp selection help required
Allen, I prefer u come alone and then buy me chow kuay teow after u listen to my setup, la. Then I can jot down notes of your perceptions and your idea of what is good sound, as there is a possibility that good sounding system means differently to different persons. Then can suggest 'tailor made' a system just for your ears!

Dear Sifus,
What you guys think of this ONKYO amp? This is an intergrated amp, pure dual mono design.
Output power:
155W+155W (6ohm)
120W+120W (8ohm)
Dynamic power:
2ohm: 420W+420W
4ohm: 280W+280W
6ohm: 200W+200W
Damping factor: 400 (1kHz, 8ohm)
Link: http://audio-database.com/ONKYO/amp/integraa-919-e.html
There is a used unit for sale, asking price RM2500.00.
My questions:
1. Worth buying? worth keeping for long..

3. How is the sound quality?
4. Any other better options/alternative?

Re: Amp selection help required
hi,
for a little more money and full warranty, why not get a Yamaha AS1000 stereo amp? Its new and won the Eisa award last year. Very good sound. I enjoyed it so far.
