I'm building a 50/50 music/home theater system using a Proceed AVP for the pre but need your advice for the best amp(s). Also, what cables would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your assistance!
The Athena/Alethas are truly excellent speakers. I have used a Bryston 4BST with excellent results. Only one caution is necessary: the impedance of the speakers frequently dips below 4 ohms, which means that high current amplification is an absolute necessity.
The Brystons are excellent. Any high quality solid state amp of at least 100 watts will provide mucho enjoyment. For a very short time, I drove a pair with a 10 year old Adcom 545 (100 watts) and the sound was outstanding.
I would also recommend dunlavy wire if you are going to buy dunlavy Speakers
