Have you looked at the McIntosh MC 1.2kW or the newer MC 1.25kW amps, they have plenty of power to drive those speakers. and they are built to last.
Living room system: class A or AB amps?
Would class A be suitable for a living room system? Apart from hi-fi listening sessions, it's also used a lot for watching TV.
Would it make more sense to get good class AB amplifiers, which can be switched on permanently without drawing huge amounts of power? I wouldn't want to warm-up an amp first before getting good sound.
For this system, I have so far only purchased the speakers: Focal Stella Utopia Evo. Room is big: 1,200 square feet with openings to hallways.
I'd consider to pair them with Gryphon Mephisto and Pandora. But that's class A...
Opinions and amp suggestions are welcome!
