If you can go talk to a dealer about an audition. Mine would let you try it for up to a week. He said they had very few returned, I found out why. They also would negotiate a little which was nice.I got pretty sick some years back and had to sell a bunch of my stuff. I sold the Rotel stuff for the price I paid and it was over a year old. If Anthem is available also give em' a try. If you take the time now, you may not have to wonder what if ??? If you take the shortcut, you're just gonna keep wondering. I found more than just good music can exist in a good unit, that's designed for people that love music, not just a market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfTheNorth Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Thats good advice @Fish I found a used Anthem A2...... Ill do some listening... Maybe ill blind buy an emotiva from USA and import it to Norway. I read alot of positive reviews of Emotiva and Klipsch. I dont know what kind of sound you get from Emotiva though. Anyone have any experience with that brand? Im thinking XPA2-Gen3 300W per channel or XPA-DR2 550w per channel Right now its between Parasound nc 2250 and Emotiva xpa2-gen3. They cost around the same here in communistNorway. Im leaning towards the parasound. Edited February 11, 2019 by KingOfTheNorth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfTheNorth Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Allright. I have 2 alternatives for my rp280 1. Parasound 2125 v2 2x150w 2. Rotel 1572 2x250w They cost the same. What do I choose? Edited February 15, 2019 by KingOfTheNorth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you go: https://www.crownaudio.com/en/distributors/search?utf8=✓&country=Norway&commit=submit For home use, the xls 1502 is the one you probably want. It's on par with any consumer amp in performance, and trounces them in value. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfTheNorth Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 @Ski Bum @Emile THANK YOU WOW! Those crown amps looks impressive. I was going to buy a parasound 2125, but now I have to do some more research. I have never heard about crown amps before you guys recommended it. 😮 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pal, Haha ... guess @Ski Bum found them for you No clue about availability of used amps in Norway, but you may want to check out musician/guitar/etc stores. In the US these places have hundreds of Crown (and other) pro-amps. One more FYI ... I have an older (20 yrs ?) Crown K1 - excellent for hi-fi - and NO fans. Just got a XLS402 (about 5 yrs old) WITH a fan ... sounds nice but you can hear the fan when the music stops I may try one of the newer (smaller/lighter) XLS models ... think the fan rarely kicks on (during "home" use). Skol, Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of power and bass drive to run you out of your room. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1117/NAD_C_388_Hybrid_Digital_DAC_Amplifier_Review.htm Bill @willland I probably will go for the Nad c388, it has everything i need in one box. My local dealer advices me to go with the c368+c268 and bridge them to 300w/c. That probably sounds awesome, but its twice the cost. I think the 388 is plenty. Thoughts? 🙂 Edited February 23, 2019 by KingOfTheNorth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
