Looking for great Amp for Martin Logan Prodigy woofers
I am rebuilding my audio system; centered around getting the most out of the Martin Logan Prodigy. I have Audio Research VT 100 (intended to drive the panel section). Now I am looking for a second amp (stereo or Mono blocks) to drive the low end. I've seen a lot of people using McIntosh, but I am not going that way. I want a used, well-built and rugged, yet musical amp, (like the Krell FPB 300). The budget is $2.5k Does anyone think Krell is the way to go? Suggestions please.
Thank you
Thank you

A pair of Anthem M-1’s would easily do the job and don’t take up much space. https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/model=m1/page=overview |
I read a review of the Anthem M1 in Stereophile Archives. Do you know if Anthem has made any improvements to the M1s since that review in 2012? The review showed that while it would have no problems driving any speaker, there were, for lack of better word, sound artifacts in the M1 that caused Stereophile to not recommend the amp. |
The Krell 300c is an excellent choice. That’s what I had with my prodigy’s however if you plan on biamping you’ll have real problems trying to do that with two different amps even with a crossover. They will never blend and sound coherent. One single powerful amp will sound better IMO. I was pretty happy with the Krell/Prodigy combo. If you want some tube sound in there I’d do it a tube preamp |
