Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling

Thanks rotarius. This is not a forever listening room...next house hopefully I will get my "man cave" back.

Does anyone have an amplifier recommendation that would surpass the XPA-2 in clarity/resolution?  Is it even practical to consider without putting down serious $$?  The XPA seemed like a good choice at the time as it had ample power, good reviews, and an even better price tag.  

Jason, what source and preamp are you using?  I think you want to look at those if you lack some resolution before you try swapping amps. 

Emotiva ERC-2 CD player, Emotiva XSP-1 Pre.  Not sure I'm "lacking" resolution.  Just not sure if there is reasonable room for improvement or if I have a good thing going.  I love the sound...but you know...always interested in hearing suggestions.  Thanks

From what I have read, the Emotiva stuff is good value for money but may not have the most refined sound.  With those speakers, I would add some tubes to the mix, start with a tube preamp and go from there.

I'm running Silver 8's with an XPA gen 3 - 2 channel amp, basically same specs. No issues at all, unless you would decide to turn it way up. Very musical and coherent at moderate levels, with great bass, mods and treble at low volumes. Enjoy!
