Primaluna Prologue Premium Intgtd Amp - Matching
Personally, I would want more power with these speakers. The sensitively is good but the impedance drops to about 3ohms. If you have a small room and listen at a moderate level to smaller scale music, you will be fine, but you will be limited with... 
Jm Lab Alto Utopia what kind of amplifier ?

I need help hooking up Merlin vsm mme Bam to avr

1) CD Player right channel output to BAM right channel input. 2) BAM right channel output to AVR CD right channel input. Repeat for left channel.
