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
Best speakers in the market. Have you tried any Mark Levinson amps. Whether it is the old 27.5 or the newest 336 you will be very pleased. My Aletha are driven by 27.5 (could not afford any better) and people think that we have very talented visitors when the system is on. Cheers, Andrew G.
