@soix that amp looks pretty good. I just made an offer for it. Thanks for the pointer!
Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS
These are the speakers
https://content.abt.com/documents/8800/M7_cut-sheet.pdf
As you can read: suggested power rating of 100-300w, 87dB sensitivity. I’m gonna need a brute of an amp to drive these things.

I have this headphone amp, which can be used as a preamp for powered desktop speakers, but don’t know if it could be used as a preamp for a power amp.
Any and all thoughts appreciated.
Edit: looks like the Lyr 2 can be used as a preamp. So that leaves me with the decision of the power amp.

@stereo5 @akg_ca Any thoughts on the power amp @soix recommended? https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/mccormack/dna-05.shtml As I said, I am willing to stretch the budget up to $1000, which I feel could give me a very respectable used amp. |
Another option is something from Van Alstine. The Synergy 200 comes in under $1,000. https://avahifi.com/collections/power-amplifiers/products/synergy-200-amplifier |
