SF Extrema,Few q

The amps I heard were the new Bernings!Wonderful.

have u heard hyepx DIY amps?do u think it can be good match

I have heard hypex amps made out of the mid-powered modules (not driving the extrema). They were OK. I've never heard any hypex driving Extrema.

You need a very stable amplifier with a lot of output (see Twilo above). I used YBA and Symphonic Line -- which are expensive so, not recommended.

Any hi-powered amp should do in the beginning... what's the output of those Behringers?

Thabx Twilo:

I heard that a pair Meridian 557 (bridged) can be a good match whith Extrema.But I want something ligheter(in weight and money)
can u please explain why u think Class D amp isn't a good chooice for the extrema?
U wrote they small but there are very powerful moudle out there ,for exmaple Gregm mentioned Hypex,the 400AD module is very powerful - 400 RMS into 4ohm.
About the PRE - Do u think tube pre amp will be good?
Any recommendations?not expenssive one cause most of my budget goes for the Extrema.

Thanx U all

Actually if you want a cheap amp under a 1000 used that can definitely power the Extremas.
The Citation 7.1 4-ch amplifier is a great choice.
The key is to bridge the amp to 2 channels.
When you bridge the amp to 2 channels its 450 watts.
This is one high current amp that sounds sweet.

Scubidubi, if cost really is that big a factor, then maybe you should delay your purchase of the Extremas and continue to save until you have more flexibility in what you can purchase. It's not as if used Extremas won't be available anytime in the near future.

For what it's worth, I auditioned the Extremas with the Meridian monos and while I was very impressed I ultimately did not warm to the sound. It was very dynamic, detailed, spacious, etc., but it wasn't enjoyable. Although they sound different it's the same reaction I have when listening to certain Wilson Watt/Puppy combos. I respect them, but I don't love them. By comparison I thought the Cremonas were wonderfully satisfying. YMMV.

Good luck!
