    Ampl + CDP recommendations for 803S

    Dear All, I am upgrading my ampl and cdp. Depending on your experiences,to use with 803S speakers which ampl and cdp do you recommend. The budget will be max 12000 euros in total. ( the prices will differ from country to country I know but I just wanted to mention that I am not planning to buy entry level products).
    some possible options in my mind are as follows;

    Accuphase E550 + Accuphase DP500 cdp
    Sugden masterclass class A ıntegrated ampl+Sugden masterclass CDP
    Audio Research pre power ampl. and cd player

    Thanks in advance to everyone.
    Regards

    I haven't heard those brands so I can't comment on them. I believe 803S match nicely with tubes, so the ARC might be a good choice, though.

    Brands that many people like with those speakers are Classe, McIntosh, Levinson, Rowland. I own a McIntosh tube amp and I'm very happy with the way it works with my 804S. I also love solid stated McIntosh with 804 and 803S. To my taste I prefer them to Classe, but you will find others with exactly the opposite view. I suggest you try to audition with the 803S if at all possible.

    I hope it helps.

      On the CDP's may I suggest two depending on budget ?
      1. Rotel 1072 available on Audigon for around $400.00. Great player tested it against many high end players. Kicked ass on a few $2500.00 up.
      2. Now the ONE: Bryston BCD-1 Not cheap $2000.00 to $2500.00 What this thing does with Redbook CD's is damn sure audible. I don't care how Tone deaf you are. It is also the only one I have had in my rack to truly show something for the money against the ROTEL.
