Bi-amp solution for Tannoy R2


Hi folks. I have a pair of Tannoy Revolution R2 loudspeakers. They came with a Marantz surround amp which I used to bi-amp them by using the surround L & R to power the bass. 90 watts per channel. Not bad.

I stumbled, however, on a blown Peachtree Nova and bought it for relatively nothing. I am awaiting a PCB which will put it back in order, and will be using the unit as DAC, Preamp and Poweramp for the Mid/Treble.

My question is, given the existing components (The Marantz will go to my HT setup), what amp would you suggest for powering the bass? I'd like a poweramp with a volume control so that I can tweak the bass level. My budget is somewhere in the $300 range and I prefer to buy used.

I listen to all kinds of music from Glenn Gould to Steely Dan to Pat Metheney to Yes to the Stones. I'm not a basshead; I would like to hear what the recording engineer intended ;-)

A fine day to you all.

Go Wharfdale valley. It'll save your funds and you don't need amp at all. They do however have an option for the external amp is that is of your interest to experiment. I don't know much about RF62
It seems to me pricey, because we have it same number in dollars new. They're great speakers in fact best B&W ones.
I believe yes, but you have to check. You may always have a chance to listen to Wharfdale ones as well before your monetary decision.
