Turn them on to SETs with a Norh SE9. It's the best deal in audio today and probably for a while! The Europas will work just fine on 9 watts. Trust me, it will be magic.
Inexpensive Integrated for GMA Europas
Hello All,
I need some suggestions! I'm helping some friends put together an inexpensive system. So far I've lined up a Cambridge Audio D500SE CDP (I've owned this myself, and it's quite good for the money) and a pair of GMA Europas. I'm looking for an integrated to drive these speakers. The room is moderate size, around 12x18x9. My budget is $400 to $500, and a remote is not necessarily required. I'm thinking Jolida 1501, which has 12AX7 input and SS output sections and provides 100wpc. They don't want a real tube amp, too complicated for them. Any other good matches? Thanks.
PS - as for cabling, I'm thinking cheap: romex or Home Depot 12 gage wire for speakers. Any thoughts?
