Hi folks,
just wanted to know your opinion about the following. I recently purchased new speakers (PMC TB2) which I have connected to my Marantz SR6200 receiver. i use that for music and HT, let's say 60% music and 40% HT. Speakers are still breaking-in and sound better everyday, but now I'm looking for a more fine and detailed sound, mostly for music. I atlked to my dealer and he said he has the perfect solution for me: using the SR6200 as a pre/pro for a new 2 channel amp Puccini. So two questions cross my mind:
1- Does anybody has any experience using the 6200 as a pre/pro? I though that functionality on the receiver was simply to read the signal from the CD/DVD and send it directly to the external amp, but it seems it is not exactly like that because I can control the volume using the receiver. So is it a good idea to attach a 'superb' amp to a 'decent' receiver like the 6200, or will there be signal loss?
2- Does anybody know this Puccini amp? Do you think it is a good one? I see there are two different versions of it, delivering 40 and 50 Watts per channel with 8Ohm speakers (as mine). I know power is not the most important thing in an amp, but would you say 40 or 50 Watts per channel is enough?
Thanks for your advices...
