I've just be given a set of Bose Freespace 3 speakers (basically 4 cubes plus a bass speaker, passive). I need it to be used in a 1,000 sq ft dance studio. However, I still don't have an amplifer. Would a NAD 352 or Rotel 1062 be enough to drive the Bose speakers? Any benefit from getting the more powerful NAD 372 or Rotel 1070? Or any other recommendation?
Athena as-b1 will make a good dance music together with sony sawm500 sub. Both can be had for $300 (Athena - circuit city, sony-google search for the best price)
You can mate them with onkyo 8511 (ebay) and for about the same price, you will have a real music to dance to - instead of Bose.
The Bose is ok for a kitchen - just add another onkyo 8511.
