Hi,
i got a pair of bose 901 VI with EQ, and then confused with which amp i should choose as need to connect EQ. just wondering if 851a or 840a is compatible with bose 901 system. they both have a "RecOut" and "RecIn", not sure if this can be use as "tape" & "Monitor"
on the manual it says about the "RecIn" and "RecOut" as like a monitor usage:
i would prefer an integrated amp to keep things simple, so NAD C375 and Cambridge 851a could be the choice, c375 is a safe choice but i don't like the looking...
thank you for sharing your ideas.

Rec In:
Connect to a tape deck or to the analogue output sockets on a MiniDisc, portable digital music player or CD recorder using an interconnect cable from the recorder’s Line Out sockets to the amplifier’s Rec In sockets.
The Rec input circuit of the 851A is a “monitor” type, different from the other 7 inputs. For the 7 normal inputs, the source selected for listening will be sent out of the Rec Out for recording. The source currently being listened to and (optionally) recorded is then shown on the front panel display.
However, when Rec In is selected a solid circle will appear beside REC IN indicating that the Rec input is now being listened to with a different source being sent out of the Rec Out for recording. The recording source is also shown by a solid circle by the selected input and can be changed by pressing the other source buttons.
To switch Rec input off, simply press the ‘Rec In’ select button again, toggling this function off.
This feature is most useful when using 3-head analogue cassette decks which allow the signal being recorded to be played back live off tape (via a 3rd head) whilst it is simultaneously recorded. It is then possible by toggling the Rec input on and off to compare directly in real time the original and recorded signal so that adjustments to the recording parameters of the tape machine can be made (consult the manual of your 3-head analogue cassette deck for full details).
Rec Out
For connection to the line level inputs of Tape Recorders or other analogue recording apparatus.
