A quick question. I'm thinking of purchasing the above said speakers and was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about using my Marantz pm8004 or would a different integrated amp be a better fit. Thanks
I have used a 32 watt integrated tube amp and a 400 watt ss amp, both sound fine. I think the more power with quality electronics the better they will sound. Also the quality of the source will be important too.
Open baffle needs power. To me they sounded very narrow or no soundstage at all with Belles 150 or Bryston 3b-st -- both over 100wpc. Macintosh MC352/Audible Illusions Mod3 pre did good job on these. Tube amps on these normally OK only for chamber or symphony music. For rock or electronica they'll be very slow or require some room tweaks to compensate.
