My audiphile friends are certain that my 140W Yamaha receiver will NOT do it w/ the Wilsons. Looking used. Recommendations for amp, pre-amp, source? Thanks
Well I am sure they sound good, but can sound dramatically better. There are tons of threads on what sounds good with Wilson. Do you have a budget in mind? Who set the speakers up? This can have a big impact on sound also...
I tried dozens of amps with mine, from 18w Lamms to big SS amps. I can tell you they like power, lots and lots of power. But they also don't get really interesting without tubes. I ultimately settled on VTL 750 monoblocks as the best match.
Agree with Owl regarding the need for lots of power. They will sound good with moderate power but stellar with big power. I drive mine with a Krell FPB 600c and plan a move to Spectral DMA 360's this year.
