I just purchased a pair of the M1 PWR amps to bi-amp my Totem Hawks which have a top power rating of 120 watts. I was using a Pass Labs X150.5 through an Audio Research LS2 pre, but thought I might overtax the speakers so...Great deal at Music Direct for the pair, $799!
Amp for KEF LS50?
Hello Folks,
I am searching for a decent amplifier for my new KEF LS50, a pair of exotic monitor speakers. Based on my investigation, I decided to have a Musical Fidelity amplifier. It seems there are 4 different options in my limited budget:
a) New 1 x Musical Fidelity M1 PWR (use it as a stereo amplifier)
b) New 2 x Musical Fidelity M1 PWR (use them as monoblock)
c) New Musical Fidelity M3i
d) Used Musical Fidelity M6i
It seems having M6i is a overkill to my speakers. So, the real competitions are among the first three options: a), b) and c). The core question is that I don't know how much improvement I can expect by using two M1 amp as monoblock against option a) or option c) specifically for KEF LS50.
Looking forward to getting an advice.
