Need Amp for BE-718, any suggestions?

If you're breaking in your BE-718, it's no telling yet whether your amp will match well with them. Wait at least 500 hours before you draw any conclusions. But they love power as Tweak1 said, the more the better.

thanks for the response.

since i'm a bit geeky guy and use computer a lot, i paired it with my bel canto s300 and it sounds amazing...for some reason my be-718 likes the s300 than the anthem a2, go figure...i'll update more once it's broken in...

i finally paired the be-718 with bel canto ref1000 and they truly sing!!! what a wonderful speakers...

here's what i got for my digital stuff:

Mac Mini for digital transport
Bel Canto DAC3
Bel Canto Ref1000
Nordost speaker cables and xlr interconnects
Core Model B speaker stands

Now my next project will be an analog setup starting next week!!!

I’ve been hoping that someone would ask this question since I got my Usher BE718’s. I’m currently driving mine with a multi-channel Theta Intrepid (100 Watts), and they sound amazing. All the reviews say the BE718’s “crave power”. I’ve been thinking about buying an amp that puts out 300 Watts, but I don't know if its safe to drive the BE718’s with that much power. Does anyone have advice?

Raks,

It really depends on what kind of listening you do, how big your room is, and/or if you are going to listen to the "original" volume levels of the recording. How does your Theta fare with the ushers?
