I'd also recommend checking out the Crown XLS series. An excellent affordable choice for power-hungry speakers (like my SP Tech Revelations). Can be purchased from Amazon, so you have a good return policy if they don't work out in your system. A buddy and I both preferred the XLS 2000 to the DIY crowd favorite Hypex NCore amps, on my speakers (largely due to better bass). That said, on his speakers we both preferred the NCore to the XLS. Synergy is everything.
budget power options
Hi all,
I need some guidance to better power my Amphion Argon 3's. I currently have a Peachtree decco65 which I like for the flexibility to play multiple formats, but I have a feeling it's a bit underpowered. Room is 10'x14' and the speakers are on Sound Anchors stands, the speakers sound lovely but I'm not so sure I'm getting as much as I could with my current integrated. Does it make good sense to add a power amp to the Decco65 like a Parasound a23 or other nicely priced amp and utilize the pre of the Peachtree, or do I just replace it with something like a current Hegel 160. Thanks for the help.
