NAD 2155 amp / NAD 1020A preamp replacement options

[glupiružan78]

Hi All, I am looking for NAD 2155 amp / NAD 1020A preamp combo replacement. I am OK with an integrated amp as well. Any brand will do as long as I am OK with the sound.

Since the problems started, 2155/1020A combo was serviced several times but never worked properly again. every time it returns from service with a new problem. after a while the volume goes down and the sound goes away for a while and then it reappears, etc. I own this set for about 15 years, so I'll throw it in the bin and buy a new amplifier. I have good "Monitor Audio Bronze bx 2" speakers. I love punchy, full bodied sound, I listen to pop, metal, punk, classics, I don't like exaggerated highs and mediums, and I'm mostly looking for an amplifier that will make most out of these speakers and drive them well. I saw NAD C368AN , but it seems overkill for these speakers, and it's too expensive for my budget. My budget is about 600 EUR. I like the sound of my current set up but I don't plan buying them on ebay because it's old equipment and invitation to frustration. Maybe NAD C316 BEE? Much obliged for your assistance!
