oldtimer Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I am curious about upgrading to separates. Is it better to pair a more current processor and an older amp for budget reasons? Would an older processor such as a Sunfire TG original be adequate or are the newer features critical for enjoyment? Any suggestions are appreciated.

bookman Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Go with the most up to date processor. Old amps can sound very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nothing wrong with old amps. My HT consists of a bunch of old McIntosh MC250's. I probably will be able to give those to the grand kids someday, just like my Khorns and they will sound as good then as they did when they were new in the 1970's. Invest in a new processor. I love my Lexicon. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Indeed, SS amplifier technology really hasn't changed to any significant degree in the last 30 years. Processors, OTOH, change almost constantly - so put your money into the processor and go used with the amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
