Suggest some integrateds for my Monitor Audio Silver 2
I'm currently running new Silver 2 speakers on an old Creek 4140S2, rated at 30 Watts per channel. Passable, but I think these can do better with more power. About 16 x20 listening space, hardwood floors. I'm thinking maybe Rotel, Arcam, Yamaha?.... Open to recommendations. I'm thinking 75-100W per side should be plenty? I don't listen Uber loud. CD is only source. Thank you.

I had the AM PL 300. Audio monitor is excellent with a tube-Amp.: jadis, unison research,Ear...It’s a verry clear and neutral speaker. Full of detail,open, and accoustic is greath. transistor-amps: Perreaux,esoteric,audio analque maestro. Good speakercables are also important: audioquest, Kimber,pure-cable. |
