Good AVR to Power B&W 683's


I have a Marantz 6005 AVR, it puts out 110 W per channel. Is this enough for the B&W 683's? I am thinking of getting the 683's over the 684's but would hate to have to buy a new receiver. thanks for any feedback.

Smdavis,

You don't need a new receiver, just add a quality high current outboard amp if you feel your Marantz doesn't have the gusto to do a proper job of powering your B&W's.

I recently owned one of these Parasounds and it was a fine amp that seemed much more powerful than it's rated 125w/ch output.
