parasound has lots of high-current juice and works really well with revel--look for an hca100 or the like.
Amp selection for someone on a modest budget...
I'm slowly upgrading my system on a modest budget and I'm looking to add a power amp next. I have Revel
Performa3
F208 speakers that I'm looking to drive with this/these amp(s). I would like to get an amp(s) that I could keep if I upgrade to other speakers in the future but that isn't a deal breaker. My room is 14' deep and 30 feet wide. I listen at about 11' feet from the speakers. Future upgrades will include additional Performa3 speakers but this amp won't drive these. My current receiver is a Rotel RSX-1055 which I am also looking to upgrade in the future. New or very slightly used is preferred. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

I recently bought a 2x250 watt Yamaha P2500s pro audio amplifier for my son (to be used with Harbeth M30.1 speakers). The price was 300 euro, or $350 (incl tax). Its bigger brother the 2x350 watt P3500s was tested thoroughly here http://www.homecinema-fr.com/forum/amplificateurs-de-puissance-haute-fidelite/mesures-ampli-yamaha-p... (in French I am afraid) using an Audio Precision audio analyzer. It measured very well, and better than quite a few far more expensive audiophile amplifiers. And for those who wonder: it also sounds fine (like any amplifier with such numbers). It has balanced inputs, and an optional high pass filter to protect speakers against low frequency explosions. Unlike many pro audio amps, it has a variable speed fan that will never come on in domestic conditions. And of course it is well made and built to last under hard conditions. |
