Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers

Hi Dave72, I want you to go and audition the new Krell amplifiers, they would be a very good fit for your JBL speakers, not just any great sounding amp will work!, because of the Hz and Khz specs of your speakers, you need an amplifier that is NOT some wide band bright amplifier, you know, an amp that is 20hz to 100khz, no man, do not do that!, you need a great dynamic, 20hz to 20khz amp, your speakers are already detailed in sound, you need a little warmth, very deep bass slam, very good mids, and alot of air and some sparkle on the top end for an amplifier, this kind of sound will mate well with your JBL speakers, the new Krell amps fit the bill!

Wadia: The speakers came with spikes. I have a concrete floor, and they are floor standing speakers at 44 inches high with the spikes. The tweeter and the mid is *not* below my ear. I don't need stands, ok? And if you still think I do, you come here and put these 240 lb (for both) speakers on them!

Also, about Emotiva, it is my opinion. And I am entitled to it. Nothing more, nothing less.

My Onkyo sounds great, others such as the members of the audio club I run (Las Vegas Audio Club) feel the same way.

THE END!

Ok, thanks Audiolabyrinth, I appreciate that. :D

Do you have options to lend some amps, so you can compare? I think it is the only way to find the one for you!

Hi Bo, no not at the moment. I can go to CES and compare amps, but this in different rooms and different speakers of course...better than nothing though. Anyway, I'm leaning heavily towards Accuphase at the moment...
