| Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling @213runnin, I'm glad you mentioned the NAD as I was just looking at some of their amps today. I wish I had a dealer closer to home for auditioning some of the other contenders.@rotarius, in what way would the A21 be overkill? Higher quality than... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling Ah, good to know. What preamp are you currently using?I would love to compare the Parasound Halo A21 to the Bel Canto Ref1000M mk 2, and the Bryston 4B3. Anything other amps (stereo or monos) anyone would recommend for the Silver 8s (and classic... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling Thanks for the insight 213runnin! I have been looking at the Halo A21 as a possible upgrade to the Emotiva. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Did you replace the XSP-1 in your system as well?I tend to agree with you regarding Emotiva's "business ... | |

| power rating Good call | |
| power rating I also have a question about the power handling of the Silver 8s. I am using a Emotiva EPA-2 Get 2 amp which is rated 300w/ch for 8ohm and 500w/ch 4ohm. The Silver 8s indicate power handling of up to 200 watts...am I in danger of putting too muc... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Wow those REL G2s are beautiful! A little (a lot) out of my price range. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Sorry, I suppose it boils down to if dual SVS Ultra 13s are worth the extra cost over dual SB2000s...for a classical music application. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I'm new to the Audiogon forums, but I too have a sub situation. I currently have an SVS SB2000 running with my MA Silver 8s (Emotiva XSP-1 pre/XPA-2 amp). Was planning to grab a second SB2000 but now thinking about upgrading to the SVS Ultra 13 ... |
