Suitable Amplifier for my ProAc Studio 150 speakers?

Posted by portcornernoise@gmail.com (A) on January 19, 2025 at 08:20:20

Hi guys,

I need an alternative to my dad's old Marantz 2270 so I can push my ProAc Studio 150 speakers.

I am an experimental electronic music producer and have a small studio with analog and digital gear outputting to powered Genelec and Yamaha speakers, which is fine for listening to any type of music through them as I have loads of compression/parametric EQ/various filter plugins - as saved presets to listen to music just the way I personally like it - so I can "work" the sound into more analogue-ish and warm as I see fit.

Still, I need to play my music through a proper hi-fi system and I love my ProAc 150's.

Please note:

1. I only play digital files, flac and wav, mp3s. No turntable, no cds or any other player.

2. All my music is in a NAS. I play my music with Plex on a Mac Mini M1 server. Also Roon.

3. In the living room where I have my ProAc 150's and Marantz, I have a smart tv so I have Plex open all day long for music and movies.

4. I can play music in my living room with my iphone because I have an old Apple Airport Express attached to my wifi network so I use the Plexamp, Spotify, Roon... apps.

5. I listen mainly to contemporary music, ambient - electroacoustic - electronica - noise - post-rock - sludge - black metal - death metal. No jazz, no old progressive rock, no "vocals" music.

6. I need a slim amplifier in the region €750-1250. Preferably black color and with no screen (but if it has one, not a problem).

7. Was looking at the Rega Elex Mk4? Suitable alternatives?

many thanks for your feedback!

best
Jorge
