At this point - after spending serious $ on speakers and the integrated amp - I’m hoping for a decent yet significantly more budget friendly power amp. New or used. I’m talking $500-$2000 (hard stop). The power amp can be upgraded in a couple of years.Well, focus on one thing at a time is a good upgrade path, at least financially...
Recommend a power amp to pair with Yamaha A-S1100
I have a pair of Monitor Audio PL300 II speakers, that are hooked up to a Yamaha A-S1100 integrated amp. These are 4 Ohm speakers/90db.
I am thinking about getting a power amp to bi-amp. The room is 17x38 feet. 2-channel music only. At this point - after spending serious $ on speakers and the integrated amp - I’m hoping for a decent yet significantly more budget friendly power amp. New or used. I’m talking $500-$2000 (hard stop). The power amp can be upgraded in a couple of years.
Any recommendations?

The power amp would need to be "gain matched" to the gain of the S1100, unless you would be using an active adjustable crossover.That’s true, or you can use the Yamaha as a pre-amp only and look for an power-amp powerful enough to drive your speakers. A used Sunfire signature 600 should has no problem to drive the Monitor Audio PL300 II in your 17x38 room. http://stereotimes.com/amp010500.shtml |
