I'm a beginner

Hi All,

I just bought ML impression 11A. before that, I was using BOSE. Please give me your best opinion on AMP/Preamp, Subwoofer, speaker cable, and center channel. 

So far I shortlisted Balanced Force210 and ML Focus ESL C18 for Center speaker. 
Do I need both Power Amp and Preamp?
Which speaker cable should I use?

Thanks

Haven’t heard the Impressions - but they look like classic ML hybrids, which should be superb for HT. My Prodigies, also ML hybrids, worked very well with older Bryston SST amps.

My Friend is selling Emotiva PT-100 Stereo 2 channel Preamp and Emotiva SA-250. will these two work with My speakers?

Thanks

It won’t allow you to use a center channel, you’d need a surround sound receiver or processor for that.

What about Rotel  RSP-1570 preamp &  Rotel RMB-1075?
or  Rotel RB-1090  or  Marantz AV8805?
Finally what Mcintosh combination should I go ( Pre Amp & Amp or integrated amp or amp & receiver)?
