I quasi recently acquired a pair of used Energy Encore Bookshelves (i.e. something like http://www.hai-tek.de/AV-Produkte/Soundsysteme/Energy_Take_5.jpg, only without the center and well... there's only 2 of them (basically I'm just saying it's not the newest ones that Energy has to offer)). I'm a little ashamed of how they're currently being powered, but I guess its the best I could do so far, (they're hooked up to a lil stereo, and getting only a measily 6Ohms, instead of the needed 8, and well.. its a shitty stereo, so you can imagine how underpowered they sound). Anyways, I've been looking around for a receiver, but since its a lil hard, at least in my area to find Energies on display ANYWHERE in the bigger chains, and thus impossible to hear them with various amps, I havent been able to find a suiting reciever. I'm not looking for anything overly expensive, I'm a student, so... not immense amounts of cash to blow, if any, but I was just wondering what kind of recommendations you guys would have. There's really no set budget. As I said, i'm a student, so money can vary or ...non-exist, but then again, i'm also not looking to necessarily buy new, so i'm sure there can be some good amps to be found used, or whatnot. So... I guess after the insessant ramble... what I'm asking is...: What are you recommendations for a reciever to be used to 2 Energy Encore Bookshelves. Thanks in advance. Much appreicated. |
