the cheapest amp to drive watt/puppy 7

thank you all for the replys. I just bought my W/P 7 and since I run out of my budget, I have to find a cheap but good quality amp for w/p7. my system now contain: Sony SCD-1, Dynavector DV20xl catridge, Nottingham space 294 turn table, EAR 834P phono stage. Is there any idea about the BAT or JRDG integrated amp? Or, will Audio Research VS 55i do a good job for the speakers?
I normally listen to soft music and violin sonata. or piano concentra music..

thanks agian for your feedback

Hello Peishuin,

Try to contact Audiogon member "Jfrech". I know he used the BAT 300se to drive his W/P 8's for a short while. If you send him a email I'm sure he would be glad to give you the details.

Good luck,
Tom

There's a couple of pair of VTL 250 monos on sale here on audiogon, one the older Manley design and one pair the newer (not newest) VTL. Either one would be a great match. Even better would be the MB-450's. A pair just sold here.

I realize that these are not cheap, but to make a point on driving Wilson speakers. I have heard the Maxx's driven by Art Audio PX25 amps delivering 6 watts per and they sounded
fantastic. When I was listening I didn't realize that the Art Audio amps were even on. I thought that one of the other amps were driving these big speakers. So my point is, Wilson speakers are extremely efficient and for something as large as the Maxx's to drive effortlessly and deliver the bass in the tight deep precise delivery they are known for with 6 watts. I would say look for a lower powered amp and focus on sound rather than power. You have the right speaker for any amp, in my opinion.

Of those listed, I would do the AR VS 55i. Should be a nice match.
