Mini amp
Hi all, hoping you can help.Currently running a Cambridge audio azur 540 with a pair of tannoy Mercury m1s.
Thinking about downsizing to a mini amp to free up space.
Can't justify a big spend sadly, ideally under 200.
Any recommendations?
And will I notice a drop in sound quality with an rca switch box as I can't find any with 3 rca inputs? You could try a cheeky bid for this Cyrus, a bit more than your budget most likely, but a pretty damned good amp.

It’s a bit overkill for the Tannoys, but at least you’ll get the best from them and the amp will easily cope with a speaker upgrade of a few leagues in the future. Alternatively, this one may be less than £200.
Great amp and very similar to the 540.

IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, I HAVE ONLY USED IT WITH A CD AND IT WORKED WELL. www.ebay.co.uk If you mean one of the really tiny Chinese made amps, then yes, you’re likely to notice a drop in quality to the CA. This is a little over budget but may be worth the stretch compared to the typical Topping/SMSL Amps.

Or possibly one of the Cyrus amps, a little older and have a leaner sound but may be will fit the bill.

If cash is tight then this is smaller but not small but a cheeky offer may be worth it.
