I like Rotel, but I would do things a little different. I would try to find a good RMB 1090. I think it would be a much better match for the speakers. Then, for the other 3 channels, you don't have to spend a great deal of money. Emotive, would be a good choice for the center and surrounds. Parasound Z series would also be worth looking in to. The idea behind this is to get the best quality sound on your main speakers, where it really counts.
Magnepan .7 - what to power with etc.
Hello, I am planning on buying Magnepan .7 speakers.
Will the following combination work:
1. Source of music: Blue-ray player, LP player and maybe PC
2. Monarchy NM24 Tube DAC
3. Rotel RSP 1570 preamp (purchased)
4. Rotel RMB 1575 or Emotiva XPR 5 (looking for a multichannel amp to use for stereo listening as well as home theater)
5. Magnepan .7 speakers
6. Cables?
7. Type of music: mostly classical and jazz
8. No extreme volumes
so far I have only purchased the preamp and I have definitely decided on the speakers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
