Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08

First of all, i’m a complete newbie with audio so please bear with me.

 

After a long period of research i decided to buy the Triangle Borea Br08 floorstanders. I had active speakers before this to avoid the amp search (audio pro a36). But the sound of the audio pro’s was comparable to my Harman Kardon Go+Play 2 bluetooth speaker so i returned them.

 

The thing is, i have no idea which amps work with these Triangle speakers and which don’t...

I don’t want to potentially buy an amp that has features that i don’t need, and which drives the price up.

 

I’ll give some info (not sure if this is of any help lol):

  • i won’t be listening at VERY loud levels ever. Mostly at average/normal to loud.
  • room is about 25-27m2
  • i have a 4k tv (philips oled 803/12) with a xbox series x as the only device connected to the tv.
  • i will use Tidal and Spotify for music mostly.
  • speaker usage is 70/30 music/movies.
  • Won't use a sub

 

I have found the following amps myself and was wondering if these are good for the speakers:

 

Yamaha WXA50

Audiolab 6000

Denon PME-600NE

Rega io

 

Can any of these power the speakers at all? That’s the most important thing i guess

 

budget is max €1000 but preferably around €500 or less if possible.

 

if anyone could help me i’d be very thankful.

Sorry for the bad English

Thanks but I can't find a shop here in the Netherlands that sells the Rogue Sphinx unfortunately:(.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. At least i have something more to look for now.

I’ll do some research on the ones you guys mentioned this week.

If someone has more ideas feel free to post them:).

What do you think about the yamaha wxa50?

Those seem to have everything i need for a low price but i’m not sure what the sound quality will be like...Will it sound that much worse than the higher priced ones?

Thanks a lot for all the help so far. I'm going to do additional research on all the amps mentioned here. It's a bit of a maze so far, can't seem to make a decision.

 

I've decided to increase the max budget to €1500. I just want to be done with it and get good enough quality in 1 go(whether that will cost €500 or €1500 doesn't matter). The only thing is it needs to be an all-in-one amp. We don't have the space for multiple devices. It will ruin the "set up". Also, some budget from the speakers came free because i called the shop to negotiate the price and they decided to give a €160 cashback.

 

I'm thinking about ordering two at the same time, and keep the best sounding one. I'll ask the shopowner if he/she is ok with that. Maybe one that's a bit more high end and a lower end one. To see if the differences are big enough.

 

Now only thing remains is to pick two out of all the ones mentioned. I'll have made my choice after this week and order next week.

 

Till that time more ideas are always welcome ofcourse.

 

Thanks again!!!
