My NHT 2.5 Speakers Are Hungry


They are power hungry. These babies are notoriously hard to drive, and right now I'm starving them. My Harmon Kardon AVR 240 gives them 65 wpc (nice quality wpc I think) in stereo mode. I've heard I need at least 100.

My budget is under $200 including shipping. I don't care about looks or weight or brands. I just need power.

So from the first post it sounds like my present receiver might be giving it enough current. Would the Adcom GFA2 (which I can get for about $200 on ebay) give me a significant improvement? Can I use my front L and R pre-outs to feed the amp and then run my fronts from that while continuing to run my surrounds from the amp in my receiver?
I guess I'm wondering if a $200 price point amplifier would help my system or not, and if I can still use my surround receiver in my system.
