I'M POWERING NEW PARADIGM STUDIO 100 SPEAKERS WITH A MARANTZ SR6400 RECEIVER. THE PROBLEM IS I NEED A SEPERATE AMP TO GO WITH MY RECEIVER TO POWER THE SPEAKERS. THEY TAKE MORE POWER THAN I THOUGHT TO PLAY THEM LOUD. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON A POWER AMP FOR THIS WOULD HELP. PS I JUST NEED A AMP FOR THE FRONT SPEAKERS. THANKS
Take a look at the above links - they are from www.audiogon.com and are used gears - usually well taken care of - if you don't mind buying used, you will get more quality for the buck.
You have nice speakers - they would sound better with an amp addition.
Hey Michael, I Also ^Purshased Some Studio's 100, but with the Marantz 7400. They Play Very Good, But i'm also Lookin' For A Power AMP. There's Some Marantz Power Amp That Could Be Pretty Good With 0.02% THD, but they must be quite expansive...
By The Way, I E-mailed The Paradigm Cie and the Minimum Power Output Recommended for these Beast is 200W/Ch .... Anyways, We've Got to Invest !!! Any one else as a Bether Idea ???
Consider using mono block amps as well. That is a good option and it is easier to add identical amps later on if you decide to upgrade the other channels as well. Some good products to look at are Vincent SP997, Outlaw mono blocks or Norh LeAmp. These brands are relatively inexpensive but offer good quality. I run a Marantz SR7200 through three Vincent SP997 and sound is very good.
Thanks, to everyone for thier help. I will not be making a purchase for a little while but I like to research my options before hand. Thanks again,Mike PS If anyone has already done this let me know. How it works and what amp you used.
