I need some advice, my knowledge about hifi is very limited and am far from an audiophile. I do like nice stuff though and like my stuff to last.
I have been using an old NAD 3020 for about 25 years paired with some unknown bookshelves. They have been with me through various moves and setups and everything has held up pretty well.
The latest incarnation is in the living room connected to the TV and a MacMini, using the TV as a thourgput. We only use the TV for Plex and it always has to be switched on to get audio from the MacMini to the NAD. I know I can connect the MM directly to the NAD, but that would result in no audio from Plex on the TV speakers.
We are redecorating the living room and want to replace the TV with a projector and still want to use the MM for audio. In an effort to simplify and declutter we would like a really simple basic stereo amp and a set of discreet speakers. I came across the NAD AMP1 (which seems to be an EU only model) and a set of Dali Spektor 2’s on some floorstands.
All our content in the living room is digital and the AMP1 seems to be a good option, I really like the clean look of it prefer it over D3020V2 too. I can connect the MM over optical and the members of the household can beam audio over it via Bluetooth.
I have only looked at NAD because of my good experience with the 3020, it still works today and will be retired to the study. With the current budget the AMP1 and Spektor 2’s seem like the most price/quality I can go without eating into the projector budget.
Is there any other stuff I need to be looking at?
