Looking for ic


Hi I'm looking to purchase some reasonably priced ic for my first hi fi. System consists of
 MARANTZ PM6006 
MARANTZ  CD6006 
MARANTZ  NA6005 
REGA P1
MONITOR AUDIO BRONZE 6

Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Also the recommended power for the speakers is from 40 to 150 watts the pm6006 outputs 45wpc is this enough to drive them or would I need to think about upgrading to a more powerful amp?
 Thank you
Dave

Check out used Audioquest Sidewinder or Copperhead cables. Should find ones in your price range.

What speakers are you using? The power handling spec doesn't help much. Check out the impedance and sensitivity specs. Problem there is that manufacturers measurement of impedance is an average and sensitivity are not always accurate. A low impedance, particularly in the bass region creates the greatest demand on amplifier power.
Sorry I missed the speakers you listed. I agree with Elizabeth that your Marantz amp should provide the needed power for the Bronze speakers unless your room is exceptionally large. 

I find that the Audioquest cables are well made. I buy them used.
