Recommendation for Stereo amplifier

SundarSarangi said:

Hi Everyone, I am from Bangalore and I have purchased Wharfedale diamond 12.4 floorstanding speakers (30-200 watts at 8ohms).
Looking for an amplifier to pair with the speakers.
I am planning to get demo of Rotel A11 tribute but I feel 50 watts per channel would be less and my understanding is I cannot add a power amplifier with its pre out since it's not volume controlled. I got a demo with Rotel stereo integrated amplifier 1592, I liked the sound but it's out of budget.
Please recommend any good integrated amplifiers around Rs 75000.
And also if there are any integrated amplifier with good pre amplification stage so that I can add a power amplifier later.

Thanks

I have a spare integrated amplifier MarantzPM80MK2. You are welcome to try it as see if it makes sense.

In your budget, checkout the Audiolab 6000A and the Marantz M1.

The 6000A is only 50Ws but is guaranteed to have good synergy with any and all Wharfedale products.

The Marantz M1 is a streamer/DAC/Amp all in one with 100W @ 8ohms and is available for a fantastic price on Hifimart right now. It is not expandable but that's the beauty of it. It's good enough to support your next upgrade in speakers without the need to upgrade the rest of the chain. Plenty of reviews to checkout online as well as on this forum - checkout the one by Andrew Robinson on Youtube where he compares it to a bunch of other amps. It sounds lovely with my Wharfedale Evo 4.2s as well as my Spendor CLassic 2/3's.

please audition the amp with those speakers in stores before purchasing. You can look at audiolab 6000A, Rega brio etc.

Thanks Vignesh for your suggestion. I will try to get the demo for audiolab 6000. Do you have any idea whether I can chain a power amplifier ?
